TAKING STORIES WHERE THEY NEED TO GO
For SOC Films, reaching an audience is only the beginning. Since 2012, our mobile cinema and outreach programme has taken films and critical information directly into communities across Pakistan, creating spaces for people to watch, question and talk about issues affecting their lives. To date, we have reached more than 100,000 people across five provinces, conducting nearly 3000 screening sessions in schools, universities and communities
Our screenings reach students in government schools, particularly adolescents aged 13 to 18, as well as college and university students. By introducing young people to new perspectives and encouraging them to question, reflect and engage, we foster critical thinking from an early age.
In schools and colleges, our films become tools for learning. Screenings, specially developed curricula and facilitated conversations give young people the opportunity to engage with subjects often missing from classrooms and encounter perspectives beyond their own.
Through partnerships with educators, experts, community organisations and institutions, we connect stories to trusted information, resources and wider conversations around change.
Today, with two mobile cinema vehicles, we are expanding our reach and taking these stories and conversations to even more communities. From a government school to a village screening or university classroom, the purpose remains the same: to put knowledge into more hands and create space for people to decide what they do with it.
