To celebrate the United Nations International Year of Youth (August 2010-August 2011), the United Nations Association in Canada, together with the AMC Theatres, is showcasing the Air Drumming sensation ADVENTURES OF POWER which premiered at Sundance and went on to win over audiences around the globe. Writer/Director Ari Gold will be in attendance at this exclusive screening.

The Canadian premiere of the director’s cut of Adventures of Power is an outstanding example of the year’s theme of ‘Dialogue and Mutual Understanding’. More than just a rock ‘n’ roll comedy; the film is an epic fable about making something out of nothing, and trusting in your own heartbeat as a way of changing the world.

On the red carpet, WEEKEND RIOT CLUB will perform a song entitled “Waking Up The World”, written to inspire youth to realize their true potential; that there are no limits to what we are capable of.

“This film, like the UN’s International Year of Youth, is an opportunity to showcase the great resource youth in our communities can be, especially when provided with opportunities to understand their responsibilities as global citizens” Kate White, Executive Director of United Nations Association in Canada.
