Idol Gives Back is happening tonight (as fellow TakePart blogger Giulia pointed out!). One thing I am excited about is that the first preview for Alicia Keys and Keep a Child Alive’s new short film Alicia in Africa: Journey to the Motherland will air:

“Everyone who visits Africa is changed by the experience, but not everyone can afford to go to Africa,” Alicia explained. “Come with me on my journey and learn as I learn. Let’s start a virus to stop a virus” send the film to everyone you know. Let’s change this nightmare into our generation’s greatest success story.” [KCA]

The entire documentary will be available to download in the coming days (check back here for specific information as it becomes available).

For now, watch the trailer below, be sure to tune into Idol Gives Back tonight and to learn more about how Keep a Child Alive is working to combat Aids.
