As it approaches its 39th anniversary, a new documentary, “The Greatest Night in Pop,” promises an immersive journey into the iconic 1985 charity phenomenon, “We Are the World.” Premiering at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival on January 19, it will soon be accessible to a global audience via Netflix on January 29.
Helmed by acclaimed director Bao Nguyen, this film is not just a retelling but a revelation, offering rare, unseen footage that chronicles the evolution of “We Are the World” from its conceptualization to the legendary recording session. The documentary will provide an intimate look into the creative process of Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson, unveiling the behind-the-scenes efforts that united 46 world-renowned music stars in a historic collaboration. The studio, marked by Quincy Jones’ legendary directive, “Check your egos at the door,” became a melting pot of talent and ambition.
What sets “The Greatest Night in Pop” apart is its comprehensive narrative, featuring candid interviews with key artists like Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson, Cyndi Lauper, Dionne Warwick, Huey Lewis, and Kenny Loggins. Additionally, it brings to light the perspectives of session musicians, engineers, and the production crew, each contributing to the tapestry of this extraordinary event.
The genesis of “We Are the World,” conceived by Harry Belafonte and inspired by Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, is a tale of artistic synergy and humanitarian spirit. Recorded at Hollywood’s A&M Studios (now Henson Studios) on January 28, 1985, this initiative saw artists convening directly from the American Music Awards, culminating in a song that not only shattered sales records with over 20 million copies sold but also raised an estimated $63 million for African humanitarian efforts. This documentary is set to be an enlightening homage to a song that became a beacon of global unity and charity.

Unter der Regie von Bao Nguyen wird The Night that Changed Pop eine Vielzahl von bisher ungesehenen Aufnahmen zeigen, während es die Geschichte von "We Are the World" von den Planungsphasen bis zur Star-Aufnahmesitzung nachzeichnet.
Der Dokumentarfilm wird einen Einblick in die Songwriting-Sessions von Lionel Richie und Michael Jackson und all die Arbeiten bieten, die benötigt werden, um 46 der größten Musikstars der Welt im selben Studio zusammenzubringen, um den Song aufzunehmen.

As announced, the documentary about “We Are The World” called “The Greatest Night in Pop” has premiered last night at Sundance film festival.
Netflix executives and the cast and crew of “The Greatest Night In Pop” attended the Special Screening during the 2024 Sundance Film Festival at Eccles Center Theatre on January 19, 2024 in Park City, Utah.
Director Bao Nguyen and Lionel Richie were at the center of the attention and reviews have started to flow in and are all very positive.
As expected, the documentary is about putting together all the greatest artists at A&M Recording Studios in Hollywood on January 21, 1985 after the American Music Awards that night.
It seems that Nguyen managed to keep a sort of interest by showcasing few dramatic moments and stories such as trying to get Prince on the project, or Cindy Lauper’s jewelry incident or few walk outs.
While the key narrative is done by Richie, Michael Jackson fans will be pleased to know that there are unseen footage of Michael. Especially when Richie and Jackson wrote the song at Michael’s house.
Also we will see Michael singing the song ACapella before the other stars arrives.
We will have to wait until January 29 to all see it on Netflix!
Premiering today, the untold story of how the global hit “We Are The World” almost didn’t happen! 46 of the biggest pop music stars had only one night to turn chaos into magic. As told by stars who were there, this film reveals the rollercoaster ride to write and record the groundbreaking song that would go on to raise millions for famine relief in Africa, win 2 Grammys and become a global sensation.
