This short film was created by School Club in Batken (Kyrgyzstan) as part of MAP Small Grant project (2022).
The aim of this short film is to build a relationship between young people, their parents, and teachers, in order to motivate young individuals to pursue a quality education. In the film, the students write an essay about who they want to be in the future. Asker wants to be a soldier to protect his country. Aikokul writes that she loves children and wants to be a teacher. Zhanybek wants to be an architect so that he can build big, beautiful houses in the country and make Kyrgyzstan a prosperous place. Maksuda wants to be a doctor to help people get healthy. At the same time, Azamat is thinking: “I don’t want to waste my time studying because I don’t think I will be able to earn much money after 5 years. After school I’ll go abroad to work and earn money – I don’t care how. I will get a lot of money and come back to build a big house and live a wonderful life.”
