Confession: I've walked down a red carpet, I've covered premiers from the red carpet but nothing prepares you for Bono. Yesterday evening I dashed out of the Huff Post office, with Tribeca maps, guides, press screening lists, pre-screening lists, publicity contacts, media kits, calendars and passes in hand.
Two minutes after I arrived at the Chelsea West I hear the rumble of bulbs, cheering and gasps coming from the beginning of the press line. Could they be yelling Bono? I looked up and along with Alicia Keys, director Paul Taylor and the stars of We Are Together there was he was. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean to detract from Paul Taylor's incredible documentary that tells of the Agape Orphanage in South Africa where a group of children use music and their voices to remember their difficult past but celebrate their hope strength for the future.
Just as Bono was directly in front of me, taking our questions and speaking passionately the film and the work he is doing, I became completely star struck and forgot to write anything down. But I can tell you this, Alicia, Paul, Bono and everyone part of this film are committed to making the Agape Orphanage a real home for these children and working with Keep A Child Alive in the fight against the worst health crisis in human history. By the end of the screening, it was clear that the children of the Agape orphanage were the only attendees to be in awe of.
The power of the Bono is undeniable
