Film shows Xinjiang youth studying in cities across China

During the past 15 years, nearly 70,000 ethnic teenagers from Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have been recruited to study at inland city high schools.

Now, a coming-of-age film inspired by the project, a national program, will be ready for moviegoers in the upcoming months.

A Place Where the Dream Begins, produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the autonomous region, will be released in cities involved with the educational program.
