DVD Description
A dream that became a song, an event, and a worldwide movement. See the making of a miracle as 45 of the biggest names in pop combine to record a once-in-a-lifetime song --written by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones -- to benefit the starving millions in Africa and America. Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Michael Jackson and never-before-seen out-takes, with a supporting cast of pop superstars including Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen and many more. Narrated by Jane Fonda, this moving documentary provides a unique and intimate look at the night of January 28, 1985 to provide more than a moving collection of words, pictures and music--it's a living piece of history.

I have had this film on vhs since it was released back in the 80's....being a Michael Jackson fan, it's an absolute classic and it's essential to have this...all for a very good cause aswell. My copy on vhs is now feeling very tired, as it's been played that many times, so I've ordered this on dvd now....but I see that there is a lot more on the dvd, so I'm really looking forward to receiving this now and also hopefully the money you pay when you buy this, will go the the same cause that it stands for....which Michael would be so happy to know.....I definately recommend this, It's a must have!!!.....Rip Michael, because of you, we are all better people....

I bought this because it said it featured never before seen footage with Michael Jackson and I was not dissapointed! I was excited discovering the raw sequences of him there. His solos were the greatest, you could see him recording, laughing with Quincy, singing with no background music, trying hard not to dance.. just precious. I wish they released dozens of Dvd's with just Michael recording stuff in the studio because he is such a delight to watch and his voice is just amazing.
Then you have the whole night of recording of the song, you can see all the artists working together in an extraordinary way. Everybody was so tired, but the enthusiasm was above everything else. On the second dvd you can also see a follow-up of the song, how it aired in tens of countries at the same time, how they went to Africa to get them the food (that part got me very emotional), but also the live performance exactly how it appeared on tv and the Grammy and VMA awards (again, Michael goes onstage gracious and sweet as ever) and the "Hands Across Amerca" initiative.
I think everybody should have this, as a reminder of how people can really make That Change if they join together as one. What's been captured on this set of DVDs is clearly a historic moment.
God bless Michael Jackson, he really opened the way.
