The Edge's Homeless Youth Documentary To Air on MTV
@U2,
February 20, 2012
The Edge is credited as conceiving a new documentary about homeless children in America that will air on MTV next month. The Break follows homeless advocate Anne Mahlum as she helps three homeless youths turn their lives around. The documentary will premiere March 2nd at 8:00 pm ET (7:00 pm CT). Here's how MTV's web page about The Break describes The Edge's role: THE BREAK is the personal vision of U2's world-renowned guitarist, The Edge, who believes that everyone deserves a chance at a decent life -- especially youth who are living without a home or support system through no fault of their own. Scored by The Edge and produced by Gigantic! Productions, the multi-award winning team behind such acclaimed documentaries about youth in crisis as Gone Too Far, True Life: I'm Deaf and I'm Addicted to Crystal Meth, this documentary is an exciting and emotional voyage through unexplored territory. There's also a trailer video for the documentary that mentions "original music by The Edge," and it sounds like Edge is singing the song that plays at about the 50-second mark. Thanks to Rachel for the tip! UPDATE: MTV has sent out a news release with some more information about The Break:
There's also this quote from The Edge: "For thousands of young people, homelessness is a daily reality. It's important to bring this issue into the spotlight and help support the organizations dedicated to helping these growing numbers."
