This documentary transcends a simple making-of, capturing a fleeting moment when celebrity ego dissolved into pure collective purpose. The footage of music legends harmonizing not for chart position, but for human lives, retains a profound emotional power.
What lingers after the final note is a poignant nostalgia for an era of uncynical artistic solidarity. It's a testament to music's forgotten potential as a force for tangible global good. — MovieFinder Editorial
