Project Description:
Documentary video produced by Almost Red Productions for the Concentric Circles Project (同心圆工程), a medical support initiative aimed at improving healthcare access in rural and remote areas of China. The project focuses on strengthening basic rural health infrastructure—including the construction or improvement of local clinics and the training of medical staff—to enhance hygiene conditions, prevention, and primary care in resource-limited communities.

The filming follows the program’s on-the-ground work through testimonies, scenes of daily activity, and direct observation of both precarious conditions and implemented improvements, building a human and cinematic narrative about the real impact of medical cooperation.
DOCUMENTARY · RURAL MEDICAL CARE IMPROVEMENT (CHINA)

The piece shows how the lack of healthcare resources in remote villages can turn a basic medical consultation into a daily challenge, and how concrete interventions—safer facilities, improved hygiene conditions, essential equipment, and training support—transform the responsiveness of rural healthcare. The film relies on testimonies and observational scenes to convey both the urgency of these needs and the practical value of sustained solutions.

The Concentric Circles Project (同心圆工程) carries out ongoing medical support work in rural areas, with initiatives that include strengthening local healthcare infrastructure and training programs for primary medical staff. From this perspective, the documentary offers a close and human view of the real impact of community health when access depends on limited resources, long distances, and the remarkable resilience of local populations.
