From the fifteenth episode, in which viewers learned the truth about the heroine who escaped from the orphanage, the phrase «Marta is at home, but other children are not» and a QR code with a link to the charity's website appeared on the screen.

Two years ago, employees of non-profit organizations that deal with the topic of orphan institutions and systemic assistance to orphans from different sides decided to unite in order to work more effectively not only in the field of direct assistance to organizations, foster families, system solutions, legislative changes, but also in the field of promoting those meanings that are brought to a wide audience in various ways the public. This is how the Coalition of Orphan Organizations «Family from Birth» appeared.

The main problem that 47 organizations are trying to solve together is as follows:

In an attempt to protect the children, they are sent to an orphanage. But is this protection? It is necessary to do everything so that the child remains in a blood family, and if this is impossible, then find another family for him, without additional institutions, which, in the end, seeking to protect, break many children's lives. How to solve this problem is to strengthen measures to support families in a difficult life situation, to establish a system of prevention of social orphanhood. The system of social protection of orphans and children left without parental care needs to be reorganized, and the priority should be the child's living in family conditions. It is necessary to convey to society that it is necessary to shift the focus of attention from «toys in orphanages» to «help the family - blood, foster», to help with adoption, to help families on the verge of deprivation of parental rights. In short, any family where there is no violence and violation of the rights of the child is better than any orphanage.
The National Media Group, as part of the working group, participated in the formation of a list of messages that need to be integrated into the content in order to delicately convey these meanings to the general public.

In parallel, almost simultaneously with this, the idea of the series «Aunt Marta» appeared and the long journey of its creation began. And already at the stage of finalizing the script, we were able to integrate into the already coherent story those important meanings that are important to remember for any person who is faced with the topic of orphanhood. Because everyone is able to contribute and influence this social topic.

Together with the producers of the series, we decided that it would be great to integrate drawings of a real child from an orphanage into each episode of the series, because the main character is constantly drawing, thus thinking and making plans. The drawings in the credits say that there are such real Martha girls who are waiting for their family. So we found Nina Konnova, a pupil of the CSSV «Our House», who lives in an orphanage, she dreams, she studies, she grows up and will soon be responsible for her own life. She paints and wants to become a designer on the STS TV channel. This beautiful girl drew the pictures for our series.

We understood that by the 15th episode, when viewers realize that Martha, in fact, ran away from the orphanage, they will sincerely and wholeheartedly love her. We know that by this point they will want to help the same little Martha, but few people know how to do it. At the end of the 15th episode, we give an answer to this question - viewers see a link to the website of the charity foundation «Change One Life», by going to which everyone will be able to find an option for themselves to participate in the fate of children who do not have a family. You can adopt a child into a family, you can become a volunteer, you can simply help the foundation implement those programs that help both children and host families. We really hope that these steps will help someone find a real family, inspire someone to start helping families who are having a hard time right now, or simply make someone understand their own children better.

The Platform Social Design Center, with the support of the National Media Group, studied the social effects of Russian film content and identified the potential for expanding the penetration of impact content among Russian viewers. Already 60% of Russians believe that cinema should educate and influence human values — this is 5 percentage points more than a year earlier. 82% of Russian viewers positively assess the quality of the content produced in the country. Over the past year, this indicator has also increased by 5 percentage points.

As part of the study, a methodology for measuring impact content in Russia was formed. In total, it has 11 parameters, according to which the audience evaluated from 1 to 5 viewed films.

The study was conducted in May-June 2022. The survey involved 1,400 respondents aged 18 years and older living in cities with a population of 100,000 or more. In addition, a session was held with the participation of 55 experts professionally associated with filmmaking, and two focus groups with viewers of the top 5 socially significant films selected in accordance with the criteria for measuring impact content.

Svetlana Balanova, General Director of the National Media Group:

«For us, this study is another step in the systemic development of the impact content industry. As manufacturers and distributors, we can't help but think about the social effects of our product and the results of integrating helping tools into the content. We want to do this systematically and with an eye to the long-term systemic development of the market in this direction».
