TV BRICS to support African TV premieres of documentaries produced by Renmin Ribao
Moja Media Group (TV BRICS international network partner in South Africa) launches premiere screenings of documentary short films produced by Renmin Ribao (“People`s daily”) (TV BRICS International network partner in China). The premiere will take place in the framework of a special TV BRICS broadcast block, regularly aired on Moja Media Group channel in South Africa, on Tuesday 14 April.
As part of the screenings, African viewers will see a film about the city of Heze in the Chinese province of Shandong, produced by Renmin Ribao ("People's Daily online") dedicated to the fight against poverty. Based on the stories of local residents, the authors tell about how until recently one of the poorest cities in China is gradually flourishing. The film "Peony in bloom" ("Peony in bloom: poverty alleviation efforts blossom in Heze city") draws the viewer's attention to the contrast of beauty, inspiration and extreme poverty: among the blooming peonies, we see pictures of the life of the poorest quarters of Heze.
Moja Media channel will also host the premiere of a Chinese short film about the development of the e-Sports industry in Shanghai («Shanghai hosts TI9, gears up to build global e-Sports capital»). Using the example of the Dota 2 computer game championship, which was held in Shanghai in 2019, the authors of the film show the audience the backstage of e-Sports competitions and tell the prospects of this sector.
The TV premiere of both Renmin Ribao ("People's daily") films on Russian television took place on TV BRICS channel. Now the English-language version of the film will be aired in South Africa on BRICS TV satellite channel of Moja Media Group.
