My Roots

My Roots is a documentary series that intrigues and inspires us to learn more about who we are through our genealogy. In each episode, a Singaporean celebrity goes on a personal journey of self-discovery and surprise, to trace his or her family tree. Over the course of the series, we uncover a myriad of ancestral stories, mysteries and revelations that mould the collective identity of our immigrant nation.

The journey begins with a revolutionary DNA genealogy test involving just saliva sample, which offers one the ability to trace relatives on any branch of the family tree.

In finding out about the lives, sacrifices and achievements of those before them, our celebrities gain a better understanding of where they come from. Their deeply emotional journeys uncover stories of tragedy, heroism, secrets and love. My Roots inspires viewers to explore and reflect upon the past of their families while tracing their own history.
