What is True Files about?
True Files is an English language television docu-drama telecast on MediaCorp Channel 5, with each episode re-enacting some major cases of crime in Singapore. When the inaugural season was telecast in 2002, its first episode was re-slotted to be telecast later, when numerous public feedback was received by the station complaining that it was too graphic after watching trailers for the pilot episode. The show was also pushed back to a 10 p.m. time slot from the second episode onwards as a result. Nonetheless, the hype helped the show to enjoy favourable viewership ratings, and so far, five seasons of this programme have been telecast. It blends documentary and drama elements. The series reflects a distinct Singapore style and perspective. The story is shaped by its creators, Cynthia Chew, Oman Dhas and Joshua Lim.
