March 2009: When 100 strangers arrive at a run-of-the-mill meeting for Singapore gender-equality group AWARE, long-time members sense that something is wrong. Who are the mysterious women wresting control of this respected volunteer organisation? And what disturbing secret unites them? What happens next becomes the stuff of national legend: starting with an astonishing coup and culminating in an extraordinary declaration of equality and justice. Welcome to the AWARE Saga.

Saga is a limited-series podcast hosted by acclaimed former journalist Bharati Jagdish. With this podcast, we:

• Tell the never-before-heard stories of key players in this gripping national event
• Examine impacts of the AWARE Saga, which have rippled outwards for the past decade
• Ask all-important questions about democracy, fairness and bridging societal divides

At 7-9pm on 9 December, join us as we kick off the Saga podcast with a virtual listen-along session to the first two episodes of the series, followed by a conversation with the creators! This premiere will take place over Zoom.
