The uplifting story of how a pop tune cobbled together in the back of a taxi became a lifeline for Africa's starving millions. It's 1985, and against the backdrop of Thatcher's booming Britain, a scruffy, fading rock star is attempting a world first: a globally televised gig to raise money for Ethiopia's forgotten famine victims. But with only weeks to go, Bob Geldof has no line-up, no broadcaster and no venues. So how did he achieve the impossible? Elton John , Queen, Paul McCartney , David Bowie and U2 and others recall how he cajoled them into taking part. Gina McKee narrates. Contains strong language.
