Films are one of the most effective ways to educate students on various subjects. A survey on nearby areas of Hope primary schools showed that over 80% of farmers never have watched a film in groups in the last ten years while over 90% pupils have never watched a film in a group and nearly 90% pupils have never watched a large-screen film.

In an effort to bring films to teachers and pupils of Hope primary schools and farmers in nearby areas as a way to strengthen community development, CYDF has included “Hope Cinema” in the plan of “Project Hope Scale-up” to raise public funding for equipment to show movies and allowance for movie showings to take place at Hope primary schools.

Over 100 pieces of equipment for digital movie screening have been donated to Hope primary schools in ten provincial areas across China to date. CYDF has also contributed to the production of the first Project Hope charity movie in China named “Hope.” The plot of the movie is based on Zhou Biaoliang, a girl who received financial aid from China’s former leader, Deng Xiaoping. The movie made its debut on June 9th in Nanning, Guangxi.
