Stand Together As One

Synopsis

Stand Together As One chronicles the historic events surrounding the 1983-85 famine in northern Ethiopia. The film tells the story behind Kenyan photojournalist Mohamed Amin and BBC correspondents Michael Buerk and Mike Wooldridge as they overcame government restrictions and civil war to document the crisis. Their work inspired musician-activists Harry Belafonte and Bob Geldof as they engineered humanitarian relief through groundbreaking recordings including WE ARE THE WORLD and DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS. Interviews include humanitarian nurse Dame Claire Bertschinger, Harry Belafonte, Ken Kragen, Dionne Warwick, and Michael Buerk, among others. The film includes never-before-seen footage from the Mohamed Amin archive in Nairobi.
