For decades now Sir Bob Geldof has been at the forefront of bringing global attention to Africa's AIDS, poverty, and starvation issues through the power of music.

        1985 saw Geldof launch LIVE Aid - a concert to raise money for the poverty stricken African continent, which took place in London, England and Philadelphia, USA.  The event brought out some of that generation's greatest musical outfits, and most importantly, the people.  20 years later, such an event had to happen again.  This time, it would be known as LIVE 8.

Using rather uneasy interactions within the presence of awkward family relationships Spielberg seemingly creates tension out of thin air, while still allowing the audience a few quick nervous laughs.
