'One Peace at a Time' Benefit for Haiti

Who knew you could support Haitian relief efforts by going to the movies? The Paramount Theatre has teamed up with Turk and Christy Pipkin's locally based nonprofit group The Nobelity Project to present a special screening of Turk Pipkin's 2009 documentary One Peace at a Time on Wednesday night. The Austin filmmaker/activist will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A afterward.

I haven't yet seen One Peace at a Time, but I did see and review Pipkin's previous film Nobelity, which was the foundation for The Nobelity Project. It was worth seeing at the Paramount, because the film looked and sounded so gorgeous. If this documentary interests you, this is your chance to watch it at its best.

All proceeds from the screening will benefit Architecture for Humanity's Haiti Reconstruction fund, in partnership with Yele Haiti. Tickets are $10 and you can buy them through the Paramount website. The Paramount's Facebook page promises a $5,000 matching grant if the event raises at least $5,000, but does not specify where the matching grant will come from.
