The video was excellent until they started to talk about civil disobedience.
That was when it fell apart.

Agree, excellent video. The narrator's English is also excellent, if the narrator's English is bad or Singlish, I would probably not watch the video completely. The good English will reached out a wider audience including those overseas NGO.
The music at the start of the video is a turn off, I would have quit the video if it is something else. Maybe appeal to some people but not me, The music used by SDP in their videos is much better and more suited for a documentary.

That is why I assumed it was a production of SDP/Martyn.
I woke up after watching this video. Actually I was more worked up and enlightened.

I put up the video because it said "Banned in Singapore documentary", so it was like cocking a nose at the PAP. Let's see how far they can ban it when it's here.
TFBH, Agree there with you. Thematically, the foregoing parts were ok. When the civil disobed thing came along, it was just too prescriptive and not even subtle. It's as if civil disobedience is the only tool in the box. As the saying went, to a hammer, everything is a nail.
Somebody else shld do a sequel, covering AIMgate, the White paper etc. and give it a new title: A Nation Mismanaged.

Martin Luther King: "Academic freedom would not be a reality today if it had not been for Socrates' willingness to practice civil disobedience and in our own history there is nothing that expresses massive civil disobedience more than the Boston Tea Party and yet we give this to our young people and our students as a part of the great tradition of our nation. So I think we are in good company when we break unjust laws and I think those who are willing to do it and accept the penalty are those who are part of the saving of the nation."

You want to cover everything then it will end up as a 10 hour film or longer........
Then let's do it as a series...
e.g. One Nation Reloaded 1. One nation Reloaded 2, etc.
