Cathay Film Company, a new banner in Singapore’s Cathay Organisation Group, is developing the new drama series Coolie, with CEO Meileen Choo as creator and showrunner.
The little-known history of enslaved Chinese 'coolies' in Cuba in the 1860s, amidst the backdrop of the Spanish Revolution, has inspired a new limited series from Singapore-based Cathay Film Company's Meileen Choo. Titled 'Coolie,' the eight-episode drama series features a multinational ensemble cast.
