Backstage At Live Aid

Live Aid was not only “the day rock’n’roll changed the world,” it was also the source of countless backstage music industry rumors. These are the stories of what went on behind the scenes on that unforgettable summer’s afternoon in 1985 as egos clash, hair is sprayed, double denim is completely acceptable and Bob Geldof and long-time personal assistant Marsha Hunt struggle to keep control of the most famous faces of the 80s.

Directed by John Hardwick, Backstage At Live Aid leans on a strong ensemble — Jonas Armstrong, Kerry Howard, David Avery — 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 comedy titles of 2018.
