WE ARE TOGETHER Premiere in NY with Bono, Alicia Keys and the children of AGAPE!
We Are Together held its North American Premiere at the TRIBECA film festival last night and it was truly a night to remember. Special Guests Bono, Alicia Keys and Iman turned out to support the children and their film. The kids donned the red carpet with the stars and soaked up the attention from the press. Its premiere stirred a lively audience who gave the children a rapturous standing ovation.
"You see they sing their stories, and that's what's so incredible,” said Bono. “There's a very joyful feeling through the film, maybe that's why we think it's such an incredible piece of work."
The excitement spilled over into the afterparty, kindly hosted by the charity "Keep A Child Alive" where guests were treated to a special performance by the children.
RISE films would like to thank everyone who made such an incredible evening possible, and especially Bono, Alicia & Iman for taking time out of their busy schedules to support the children and their film.
