The Journey (Chinese: 信约) is a Singaporean transmedia project about the story of Singapore, aired from 2013 to 2015. It consists of three parts: A Voyage, which is about the early settlers that arrived in Singapore, Tumultuous Times, which is about the Second World War, as well as Singapore's road to independence, and Our Homeland, which is about Singapore's progress as a nation, which is slated to wrap up during Singapore's 50th birthday. The drama trilogy focuses on a fictional depiction of the events and lives of the people in each era.
The Journey: A Voyage showcases the human spirit in Singaporeans of the past from the 1920s through the 1930s. It offers a glimpse of what Singapore is like in the 20s to 30s, where people from Tangshan sailed the seas to arrive in the shores of Nanyang, in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones. Whether if it is intentional or otherwise, they will ultimately settle down in this country known as Singapore, sink their roots and lay the foundation for their descendants. Starring Li Nanxing, Elvin Ng, Desmond Tan, Joanne Peh, Jeanette Aw, Chris Tong and Pierre Png as the main characters of the series, each of a different background and with different forms of motivation, the series aims to inspires viewers with the characters’ hunger for survival and grit in overcoming adversities without lamentation. This is the third show on Channel 8 to celebrate MediaCorp's TV50, after mid-year blockbuster The Dream Makers and variety series The Joy Truck. The series is written by Ang Eng Tee and executive produced by Chia Mien Yang, who also executive produced C.L.I.F. and C.L.I.F. 2. This is also the only season to have a producer, Kwek Leng Soong, who is notable for The Little Nyonya, before her resignation in August 2014. The series garnered 12 nominations for 10 awards in Star Awards 20, to which Pierre Png won Best Actor.
