This was the focus of the launch of the Doc-China Festival, co-organised by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China and China Global Television Network in Abuja on Thursday.Cultural Affairs Counselor of the Chinese Embassy and the Director of the China Cultural Center in Nigeria, Mr Li Xuda, in his remarks said the effort is to boost Nigerian Nollywood with some assistance to help use the platform to fight poverty in Nigeria.
“For many years, the Nigerian government has been working hard to lift more ordinary people out of poverty. From what I know, in 2021, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Inaugurated the Steering Committee of the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy to achieve his mission of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty within a decade,” he said.
The event presented a documentary entitled “voices from the frontline: China’s War on Poverty” jointly produced by CGTN and the Kuhn Foundation of the United States. The documentary provided an intimate portrayal of China’s historic anti-poverty campaign, which in the last 40 years has removed over 800 million people out of extreme poverty and the lessons for Nigeria.
The collaboration was also aimed to promote the cultural exchange between China and other countries, and let the world better understand China, people as well as its culture. Over 50 of the CGTN’s best video production including award-winning documentaries will be screened at selected television channels from around the world during the Doc-China Festival, which will kick off with a grand ceremony in Beijing in June and go on till the end of this year.
Film and poverty I don't understand .
Let's hope Chinese won't be exploiting our Nigerian brothers and sisters.
