For three decades, Lion City Hardcore (LCHC) has been at the forefront of the Southeast Asian hardcore punk scene, nurturing local bands and fostering their resilience. The documentary sheds light on LCHC's role in promoting hardcore music as a tool to address mental health challenges. Scheduled for release in May, during Mental Health Awareness Month, the project pays homage to the Samaritans of Singapore's helpline, "1-767". Through the stories of LCHC's new-gen bands, the documentary aims to raise awareness about mental health issues and the healing power of music within the hardcore punk community.
