Cinemas help impoverished kids

Film company uses movies to help young students. Deng Zhangyu reports.

After six years of providing free movies for children from impoverished families, a charity of Huayi Brothers Media Corp, China's largest private film production company, has launched a plan in Beijing to train schoolteachers on film education and set up about 100 kindergartens in poverty-stricken areas.

The Huayi Brothers Foundation has invited principals from some 100 elementary schools in impoverished areas across 10 provinces, including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, to Beijing for one-week training on film education.
