Half the Sky: One Night Only

Talent Plus invites you to experience CARE’s one-night-only presentation of “Half the Sky” on March 4, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. (local time) in select movie theatres across the country. Talent Plus is a proud supporter of CARE, a humanitarian organization fighting global poverty by empowering marginalized women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities.

Inspired by the bestselling book from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, this will be an exciting night of musical performances, celebrity commentary and uplifting stories about women and girls overcoming tremendous obstacles. Watch as the pages of “Half the Sky” come to life in “Woineshet,” a powerful short film by Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei and Lisa Leone.

“Half the Sky” is much more than a night at the movies. With appearances by Nicholas Kristof, Melanne Verveer (U.S. Department of State Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues), Dr. Helene Gayle (CARE), Marisa Tomei, India Arie, Michael Franti, Angelique Kidjo and others, this event will move you to help women around the world turn oppression into opportunity.
