BBC ALBA - U2

This is the story of U2's energy and commitment to social causes.

Documentary on music group U2, telling the story of their philanthropy and charity work and their efforts to use their influence to bring change to people who need it the most.

Tha U2 air 13 clàran stiùidio fhoillseachadh agus 's iad aon de na còmhlain as soirbheachail a th' air a bhith ann a-riamh, 's iad air còrr air 170 millean clàr a reic air feadh an t-saoghail. Tha iad cha mhòr cho ainmeil airson an obair deagh euchdachd agus carantais 's a tha iad airson an ceòl. Fad 20 bliadhna tha am prìomh sheinneadair, Bono, air cliù a chosnadh leis an obair chruaidh a tha e air a dhèanamh airson leasachadh a thoirt air gnothaichean sòisealta agus eaconamach ann an tìrean bochda an t-saoghail.

'S e Iomairt Rock sgeulachd oidhirp mhaireannach U2 gus cùisean shòisealta a bhrosnachadh air dhòigh 's gun toir iad taic dhan fheadhainn aig a bheil feum air - na daoine bochda agus feadhainn a tha ann an èiginn. Leanaidh an aithris seo an oidhirp iongantach a rinn an còmhlan comasach seo à Baile Atha Cliath a th' air atharrachadh a bhrosnachadh agus a th' air feum mhaireannach a dhèanamh.

U2 have released 13 studio albums and are one of the world's best-selling music groups of all time, having sold more than 170 million records worldwide. They are almost as well-known for their philanthropy and charity work as they are for their music. 

Over twenty years, lead singer Bono has made a name for himself as a tireless worker for social and economic change in poorer countries.

A Rock Crusade is the story of this band's energy, drive and commitment to social causes and their efforts to use their influence to bring change for the people who need it most - the poor and disadvantaged. 

This documentary follows the remarkable achievements of this gifted group from Dublin who have inspired change and made a real and lasting difference in the world.
