"A POWERFUL NOISE Live is more than a night out at the movies, it's a movement coming of age," says Dr. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of the global poverty-fighting organization CARE. "You'll be entertained but more importantly, when the lights go on, you'll be energized with a better understanding of what you can do to empower women and girls around the world."

On Thursday, March 5, 2009, in honor of International Women's Day, A POWERFUL NOISE Live will appear in 440 movie theatres nationwide. This one-night event will feature the acclaimed documentary followed by a live town hall discussion about the film's topics (Fighting AIDS. Rebuilding communities. Educating girls.) with experts and celebrity activists broadcast live from New York to screens around the country. The live panel will include CARE president and CEO Dr. Helene Gayle; model, filmmaker and CARE advocate for maternal health Christy Turlington Burns; and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, journalist, and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, with others added soon. The documentary focuses on three women in Asia, Africa and Europe.
