Uganda Rising Movie Premiere in Vancouver

Jun 1, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan and Chantal Kreviazuk were among the celebs that attended the opening night premiere of "Uganda Rising" last Thursday at the Fifth Street Cinemas. The film, which highlights the plight of the Acholi people in Northern Uganda, won an award at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto earlier this year. An exclusive after party at the AutoOne Showroom featured a chance to mingle and further support the cause through donations to the GuluWalk organization.
