Sales of this DVD benefit USA For Africa.

In a little more than 30 years, ''USA for Africa'' has raised more than $100,000,000 to help alleviate poverty in Africa and in the United States.

In 1985, the music industry and the world came together in an unprecedented outpouring of generosity in response to the tragic famine wreaking havoc in Africa at the time. The biggest names in music checked their egos at the door to create what was and still is a worldwide phenomenon. The recording of the original We Are The World sold more than 7 million records worldwide. The worldwide sale of that record generated more than $60 million which has been used to assist Africa and Africans affected by the famine and other critical issues since 1985. The song became and remains the people's anthem and continues to be revered and loved globally. (Harry Bellafonte)

A dream that became a song, an event, and a worldwide movement! See the making of a miracle as 45 of the biggest names in American popular music combine to record a song to help alleviate the suffering of starving millions in Africa and America.

Narrated by Jane Fonda, this program provides a behind-the-scenes look at the night of January 28, 1985, to provide more than a moving collection of words, pictures and music; it's a living piece of history.
