Alicia Keys hosted a private screening for the Keep A Child Alive With Alicia Keys documentary at the Tribeca Grand Hotel Screening Room this evening Nov 29 in New York City.
The 30-year-old entertainer was joined by fellow humanitarian & musician Bono as she screened the flick about her trip to Africa during last year’s World Cup series with five Americans.
Alicia, who met the courageous children, families and communities affected by the AIDS pandemic during her trip, started her charity, Keep a Child Alive, in 2003, to assists those affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.
She says she hopes the film reaches out to those who want to help, but can’t make it to Africa.
“Even if you never have been able to travel there, or if you never can, that doesn’t mean you can’t travel with us and really see it for yourself,” she said.
Keep A Child Alive With Alicia Keys airs on Showtime on Dec. 1, which is World AIDS Day.

Alicia Keys covers WebMD magazine‘s November/December 2011 cover.
In the digital magazine’s Heroes issue, the entertainer opened up about her philanthropy work to help fight against HIV/AIDS through her organization Keep a Child Alive. Ms Keys also discussed being a mommy and her experience directing a film.
On giving back to those thru her org, Keep a Child Alive: “Sometimes we watch the news and things seem so out of hand. We feel that there’s nothing we can do. Or we think in order to donate we have to give $100 or $500. You can give $1, or even 50 cents a month, and these very small amounts add up and make a difference.”
On being a mother: “Motherhood is a billion times better than I expected, and I already expected it to be great. It’s all the things everyone ever said, but you don’t know it until you’re there. It’s a really special time, and I feel so honored that I get to help somebody in this world find his wings, and navigate and learn happiness, and be loved. Actually, he’s helping me learn, because I’m smarter now. He’s awesome! I’m having a ball!”
On being a director: “To be a director is something I always wanted to do,” she says. “It’s a beautiful dance, a beautiful orchestra, and all these parts make the music. That’s how I hear it. That’s how I see it. I loved it! It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.” Plus, she jokes, “to watch the actors go into hair and makeup and not have to go in myself” made her love it even more.”
