HBO FILMS, TIME WARNER CABLE, AND THE AUTISM SOCIETY OF NORTH CAROLINA TO HOST NORTH CAROLINA PREMIERE OF "TEMPLE GRANDIN" ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1 AT THE FRIDAY CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION ON THE CAMPUS OF UNC-CHAPEL HILL

Film stars Golden Globe(r)-winner Claire Danes; Tells extraordinary story of Temple Grandin -- best-selling author, animal scientist and autism advocate

What: HBO Films and Time Warner Cable have partnered with The Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) to host the invitation-only North Carolina premiere of HBO Films' TEMPLE GRANDIN.

Highlighted by a transformative performance by Claire Danes, TEMPLE GRANDIN is a fascinating chronicle of one woman's extraordinary life journey, tracing Grandin's struggles as a terrified autistic teenager who evolved, with the help of her mother, aunt and academic mentors, into a celebrated academic whose interest in animals, particularly cows and other livestock, transformed the way cattle ranches are designed and managed. Grandin's unique ability to empathize with the animals she studied led her to devise much more efficient, and humane, ways for the cattle industry to manage their animals, even as they were being led to slaughter.

   When:       Monday, February 1, 2010    6:00 p.m.  Reception: Atrium Center    7:00 p.m.  Screening: Grumman Auditorium     Where:      The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education    University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill    100 Friday Center Drive, Chapel Hill, NC   

Media requests should be directed to: Valerie Harris, HBO, (404) 966-2445 or valerie@kinseygrouppr.com
