Drive-in movie van a hit in rural Africa

A mobile cinema screening domestic films is proving popular with villagers in Zambia, Nigeria, the Republic of Congo and Senegal, Fang Aiqing reports.

A film screen on wheels that has been touring villages in the West African country of Senegal, has been giving locals the chance to catch up on the latest Chinese movies for free.

Fourteen screenings of Chinese films dubbed into French were held in seven villages around the Senegalese capital of Dakar and the inland city of Thies from July 12 to 18.
