Kapanlagi.com - Producer Manoj Punjabi carried out a unique social program entitled Layar Rakyat Indonesia (Indonesian People's Screen). It is unique because in addition to distributing food packages to three hundred underprivileged families in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, he also invited the community to watch movies.
Inviting people to watch movies was intentional by Manoj, because not all assistance comes in the form of money or basic necessities. It can also be something that entertains oneself.
"We can help with food packages, but watching movies in theaters is also a form of entertainment that needs to be provided. Life is not easy, if I can provide entertainment that can inspire through films, that's good," said Manoj when met in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, on Thursday (2/11).

The Indonesian People's Screen Program is the first social activity carried out by PT MD Pictures Tbk under the name of MD Foundation. Manoj Punjabi said it will not stop here.
"It will definitely be held again, not just once. What I want is to contribute with our strengths, starting from here and then expanding. Because many people have never been to the cinema and this activity will make them want to go again," said Manoj.
2. Deva Mahenra Learns Something
Manoj Punjabi invited three hundred heads of households in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, to watch the movie KISAH TANAH JAWA: POCONG GUNDUL at the cinema. Deva Mahenra as the actor said he was happy to be able to help through his film.
"I am happy because MD told us that sharing is not only about daily needs. But it turns out it can also be about feelings. In the midst of the constantly racing time, we do not forget to take a breath for one of them is by watching a movie," said Deva on the same occasion.
