Pearl Jam is teaming with the Black Eyed Peas to co-host the ABCinemaNOW national live streaming premiere of the feature documentary Parkland Rising on Tuesday, June 2nd at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The film is a look at the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, who started an international movement to call attention to the need for enhanced and uniform gun safety laws after 17 people were shot to death at the school by a former student.
Pearl Jam will host the screening on the band's YouTube channel and Facebook page, with a second screening to follow on Friday, June 5th. Both screenings will be followed by panel discussions. The events will also be available on the film’s Facebook page, Black Eyed Peas’ Facebook page and Katie Couric‘s Facebook page.
Pearl Jam has been active online with charitable activities following the postponement of the band's spring tour. The group will headline a virtual concert by Seattle-based artists on June 10th.
