Sentio Space worked with the University of Surrey to tell the story of two of their PHD students from China who are on scholarships, as well as the organisation’s Vice-Chancellor at time of writing, Max Lu, who also had his life impacted by a scholarship. The film has been shared with the university’s audience in China, encouraging people to donate to Surrey’s scholarship programme.

Identities can be concealed when sensitivity is required. And it is at home with younger audiences.
