Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Films have long been recognized as powerful tools for educating and influencing public awareness on critical issues. Reproductive health, particularly for women, is an important topic that affects health outcomes and quality of life. In rural areas like Dambatta Local Government Area, Kano State, access to formal education and health services can be limited, making films an essential medium for disseminating important information (Olanrewaju & Yusuf, 2023).
Films that highlight reproductive health issues such as family planning, maternal health, and sexual rights have the potential to reach a wide audience in these areas. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of films in educating rural women in Dambatta about reproductive health.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In rural areas, many women lack awareness and access to reproductive health education, which can lead to poor health outcomes. Despite the availability of health campaigns, the role of films in improving reproductive health knowledge has not been adequately studied in areas like Dambatta. This research aims to assess how effective films are in bridging this gap and increasing awareness on reproductive health topics.
1.3 Objectives of the Study

1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
