The historic Long Beach Art Theatre tonight will debut a new documentary called When The Night Comes, a harrowing look at the devastating effects of the malaria epidemic in East Africa. The film debuts across the nation this week and will make its Long Beach debut tonight at 7:30pm.
Film creator Bobby Bailey will be in attendance tonight and will lead a discussion on the topic of his film.
When The Night Comes is the next project from Bailey, co-creator of the world-renowned documentary Invisible Children about child soldiers in Northern Uganda. Invisible Children earned Bailey and his colleagues appearances on Oprah, Larry King and many more national programs.
When The Night Comes examines the lives of those who are affected by malaria and the individuals who are fighting to save lives. “The most important idea I came across through my investigation is that this generation has a chance to eliminate [malaria],” Bailey says in a press release.
Tonight’s showing will contain mature content, but is open to all ages. Long Beach bands Sam Outlaw and The Fling will provide live performances. Tickets are $5 at the door.
