————————————————————————————-
We will show The Heart of America Tour: Africa’s Future And Ours at the historic Carolina Theatre, in downtown Durham, as part of a great double-feature night of films.
The Heart of America Tour is a 30-minute documentary chronicling a grassroots trip through the Midwest 
by Bono of U2, Ashley Judd, Chris Tucker and Agnes Nyamayarwo, as they meet with the people of the Midwest, senators, AIDS activists, church groups, and others to discuss the AIDS emergency in Africa. Produced by the DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) Foundation - now ONE.
Following a brief Q & A time with film maker Dominic J. DeJoseph and Agnes Nyamayarwo, we’ll show It Might Get Loud. Maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s the new “documentary on the electric guitar from the point of view of three rock legends,” by award-winning director Davis Guggenheim, featuring Jimmy Page, Jack White, and that guitarist we all know as simply, “The Edge.” Visit the film’s website for more information.
Feel free to stop in at the reception and stay for one or both of the films, or just attend what suits you. Your full-conference registration ticket includes the Friday night events, and tickets are still available for just the Friday evening events.
If you still need a ticket, register here for either the full conference or Friday night only option. (We will have our registration packets ready for you Friday evening to pick up your badge and tickets to the reception and films.)
See you there!

It’s wonderful that you’re showing “It Might Get Loud”!! It’s not playing anywhere close to me and I so want to see it. Sounds like a great weekend!

Turns out that this is the opening weekend for “It Might Get Loud” for the entire NC weekend. I’m ecstatic to see both of these AND meet all of the attendees and speakers. And for those of you from out of town, The Carolina Theatre in Durham is one of our local gems and within walking distance to a couple of great restaurants and bars in our revitalizing downtown. Looking forward to seeing y’all!

It’s the opening for the entire NC Triangle area, that is.

I am attending the conference and of course want to attend the two films on Friday night. Does anyone know how to purchase tickets? I can’t seem to find it on the Carolina Theater web site…if someone knows, can you send me the link please? Thanks so much!

Michele - You can purchase tickets through the conference site only. The Carolina Theater is not selling tickets for this double feature. Please purchase the Friday night event ticket option here:
