1987: Untracing the conspiracy is an independent film by local filmmaker Jason Soo about what is infamously known as The Marxist Conspiracy or Operation Spectrum. The conspiracy refers to the detention of 22 individuals who were allegedly attempting to topple the Singaporean Government with a communist state. Featuring interviews with the ex-detainees, the film focuses on the first 30 days of their ordeal, a rare insight to a part of Singaporean history that has been overlooked. *Film is rated R21
