Celebrate 2010 Intl Women's Day with HALF THE SKY

Building on the success of the 2009 International Women’s Day event, A Powerful Noise LIVE, CARE is planning to bring together tens of thousands of people in theaters across the country to celebrate, learn and take action to empower women and girls in the fight against global poverty in 2010.

On Thursday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m., CARE will present HALF THE SKY, a one night event in movie theaters nationwide. Inspired by the best-selling book "Half the Sky" from Pulitzer-prize winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, HALF THE SKY will celebrate International Women’s Day with musical performances, celebrity commentary and the world premiere of "Woinshet," a powerful short film co-directed by Academy Award® Winner Marisa Tomei.

As featured on Oprah, CNN, and Dateline NBC, "Half the Sky" remains a New York Times bestseller and a critical favorite across the globe. With HALF THE SKY, the one night event, you can watch the pages of "Half the Sky" come to life onscreen as Woinshet chronicles the struggles of a young Ethiopian woman who ultimately triumphs over sexual violence and discrimination.

Screening in about 500 theaters across the United States and Canada, this one-night event - featuring Kristof and WuDunn, as well as Dr. Helene Gayle of CARE, Rachel Mayanja of the United Nations, Marisa Tomei, Maria Bello, Sarah, Duchess of York, Michael Franti and musical performances by India.Arie, Angelique Kidjo and Diane Birch – will motivate you to participate in the growing movement to empower women and girls in the fight against global poverty.

A POWERFUL NOISE takes viewers inside the lives of three extraordinary women who each overcome insurmountable odds to bring lasting solutions to their countries. Hanh is an HIV-positive widow from Vietnam. Nada, a peacemaking survivor of the war in Bosnia. And Madame Urbain, a crusader for girls' rights in Mali.

Kudos for Kristof!

We are very excited that our ally and panelist on A POWERFUL NOISE Live, Nicholas Kristof, is shaking the tree and making lots of noise about the empowerment of women and girls around the world. Thanks to Mr. Kristof, this Sunday’s New York Times magazine is dedicated to international women’s issues. The magazine’s premiere article, The Woman’s Crusade, also mentions our main A POWERFUL NOISE partner CARE in the second paragraph. This will certainly go a long way in placing women’s issues and CARE’s great work at the center of a national dialogue. The catalyst for this issue is Kristof’s upcoming book, Half the Sky, which will be released September 8th. The book is an inspiring call-to-arms against the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. I encourage everyone to check out this extraordinary issue of the New York Times magazine and to purchase your copy of Half the Sky. Both will challenge and motivate you to make a real difference in the lives of women and girls everywhere.
