90% of films viewed in China are pirated. Despite increasing attempts by global media companies to clamp down on unauthorised duplication, piracy is growing at an astonishing rate.

"Kairos' emphasis on good media for young people is dead right.
Across the planet, young people use the mass media as their
window on the world. Kairos will help them discover how Jesus
can change their lives. Pray for this vital ministry."
