Midnight Oil - Black Rain Falls

On May 30, 1990, Midnight Oil interrupted its North American tour for a “special guerrilla action” on the crowded Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan. The agit prop event was a live concert from the back of a flat-bed truck that eventually drew more than 10,000 people at the high noon hour. The Australian band took this chance to make public its feelings on the planet’s crumbling environment

Directed by Lawrence Jordan, Midnight Oil - Black Rain Falls leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Garrett, Dwayne Hillman, Martin Rotsey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1990.
