Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Harry Belafonte Host Sundance Premiere for The Last Mountain

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Harry Belafonte are pleased to host the premiere party and concert for The Last Mountain, a featured documentary film in the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The celebration will be held Saturday, Jan. 22, 8:30 p.m. at The Yard in Park City. Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, who recently released her third album, Tiger Suit, on Virgin Records, will perform live during the party.

General admission tickets are $50. VIP tickets, which include food, beverages, and VIP Lounge access are $150. Tickets are available at www.waterkeeper.org. The Yard is a convenient stop on the free Sundance shuttle loop, and valet parking is also available.

All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Waterkeeper Alliance and will be used to raise awareness and help stop the practice of mountaintop mining in West Virginia. Waterkeeper Alliance is the global environmental organization established in 1999 by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The non-profit unites more than 200 Waterkeeper programs around the world and focuses citizen advocacy on the issues that affect our waterways, from pollution to climate change.

Written, directed and produced by award-winning documentary filmmaker Bill Haney, The Last Mountain world premieres at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and opens in theaters this spring. The film portrays the devastating effects of mountaintop coal removal in West Virginia's Coal River Valley and the way residents and activists are standing up to the industry that has a strong presence in the region. With support from grassroots organizations and Robert Kennedy, Jr., who is featured in the film, awareness is rising in the battle over Appalachian mountaintop mining. Forces are aligning to prevent coal removal on Coal River Mountain and preserve the region's precious natural resources.

The Last Mountain premiere party is generously sponsored by Teva, Patron, Stella Artois, and StyleTrek.
