In July 2005, Bob Geldof makes the reluctant decision to restage a global concert, this time spanning eight cities on the same day. It marked the culmination of years of political activism but with a shift in focus: not to raise money but to challenge the leaders of the world’s richest countries to tackle the root causes of poverty in Africa. UK prime minister Tony Blair works closely with Geldof to persuade the public that development and aid were a worthy use of taxpayer money.

Meanwhile, in the US, Geldof’s friend Bono leads an extraordinary campaign to engage President Bush and his government in addressing Africa's systemic issues. Together, the two raise over £100 billion in debt relief and aid over the ensuing years.

Featuring interviews with Bob Geldof, Bono, Blair, Bush, former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo and Richard Curtis, as well as Birhan Woldu, a famine survivor from 1985 who joined Madonna on stage at the concert. This is the untold story of when two rock stars navigated the corridors of power.
