Celebrate International Women's Day 2009 with A POWERFUL NOISE Live
CARE invites you to attend our premier event celebrating International 
Women’s Day, featuring the acclaimed documentary, A Powerful Noise 
Thursday March 5th, 2009. CARE, a leading humanitarian organization who 
places special focus on working alongside poor20women and addressing the 
root causes of poverty, is hosting this unprecedented event to celebrate 
International Women’s Day 2009. This one-night event by Executive 
Producer Sheila Johnson will feature the acclaimed documentary A 
Powerful Noise, followed by a town hall discussion broadcast live from 
New York City featuring: former Secretary of State Madeline K. Albright, 
CARE Advocate Christy Turlington Burns, CARE President and CEO Dr. 
Helene Gayle, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas 
D. Kristof and actress and activist Natalie Portman.

A Powerful Noise takes you inside the lives of three extraordinary women 
overcoming deep-seated gender barriers to rise up and make their voices 
heard. The women featured in the documentary are creating unprecedented 
change in their communities in Vietnam, Mali and Bosnia. The film is 
witness to their daily challenges and their significant victories over 
poverty and oppression. The stories are personal, yet they illustrate 
larger issues affecting millions of marginalized women worldwide.
The leaders and members of organizations across the country are planning 
to attend the event, and local groups or chapters can make it their own 
International Women's Day progra m. Simply visit

planning guide for how local interested groups can participate in this 
exciting event.

A Powerful Noise is more than a documentary, it is a forum to unite, 
network and mobilize for meaningful global change. It is an event to 
honor International Women’s Day as well as the women who have fought- 
and continue to fight for equality.

A Powerful Noise is being screened in 442 theaters around the country.
