Third-year students studying journalism at the Faculty of Management and International Communications of the Kazakh Ablai Khan University of International Relations and World Languages participated in the screening of the short film "Bunker" and discussed with the author Adilet Makenov such pressing issues of modern society as the influence of information, manipulation, and television propaganda.
The film once again proves that the use of fact-checking tools, the development of media literacy, and careful filtering of information sources are crucial skills not only for journalists but also for those who face the challenges of information overload in today’s world. Similar works, including short films, are often used to raise awareness to present-day issues.
The event was organized by Internews with the financial support of the European Union as part of the "Central Asia Connect for Peace" (CACP) festival on January 18, 2023, in Almaty.
