On the 40th anniversary to the day of the charity rock concert that galvanized the world in 1985, CNN launches a four-part docuseries reliving the events that led to the fusion of music and activism, raising billions of dollars for African famine relief. The series traces the evolution from musician Bob Geldof‘s charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” to the spectacular all-star charity concert staged in London’s Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia’s John F. Kennedy Stadium. The 16-hour event enlisted superstars from Mick Jagger and Tina Turner to U2, Sting, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Madonna, The Who, and Queen.
