What it's about

The CNN Original Series "Live Aid: When Rock n' Roll Took on the World" dives into the behind-the-scenes story of the iconic 1985 concert, featuring legends such as Bob Geldof, Bono and Sting. It explores the event's legacy of reshaping global charity efforts and political action and how one Christmas pop song sparked a movement that has directly (or indirectly) raised tens of billions of dollars for Africa. Bob Geldof, initially alone, then with Bono, challenged, embarrassed and embraced the world's most powerful people, all in an attempt to address the unjust relationship between Africa and the West. Live Aid: When Rock n' Roll Took on the World is a tale of unimaginable tragedy, mad ambition, political machinations and amazing music.
