Cinépolis hosts a movie screening for 4700 underprivileged kids
Cinépolis organised a special movie screening in association with Round Table India for underprivileged kids. This initiative is part of Cinépolis’s endeavour to change the lives of young children for the better. This year, Cinépolis treated over 4700 underprivileged children by screening the action sci-fi thriller 2.0 at Cinépolis cinemas across 18 cities.
Javier Sotomayor, Managing Director, Cinépolis Asia said, “Through our CSR initiative ‘Let’s All Go to Cinépolis’, we aim to bring joy and happiness into the lives of the lesser privileged children. Cinema has the power to influence and empower and being a responsible organization, it is our constant endeavor to provide this benefit to the underprivileged children as well’.
It was truly a memorable experience for many of these children who have never visited a cinema hall in the past and were enthralled with this initiative undertaken by Cinépolis. The screening was followed by a round of refreshments as well as an engaging discussion around the movie.
Cinépolis has been organising this activity in India for the last 5 years and has so far screened movies for 21,690 less privileged children in these years.
