Why watch this film?

The Greatest Night in Pop is the documentary that will move many fans of 1980s music. After all, the recording of We Are the World was a milestone not only in pop music but in the entire music industry – whether for the cause that motivated that gathering, the names involved, or the impact that the video had and continues to have even today. Here, in this film by Bao Nguyen (Be Water), we see the details of this meeting, what went on behind the scenes, and we also hear testimonials from the artists who participated. It's interesting, nostalgic, and, above all, emotional.
