Recovering addicts' movie nights steer others from drugs

China Daily | Updated: 2018-12-17 07:47

By showing movies in communities, the Sunflower cinema team hopes to communicate a simple message: Drugs destroy lives. Most of the volunteers, themselves recovering addicts, can attest to this firsthand.

The outdoor screenings, which regularly attract audiences of over 300, are held at parks, schools, basketball courts and other public spaces throughout Zhongshan, Guangdong province, on weekends.

Part of the city's anti-drug campaign, the nonprofit Sunflower project was started in September 2014 and has organized about 130 free movie nights.
