Bob Geldof The Moment (2014)

Bob Geldof grew up listening to the radio on the outskirts of Dublin where his loneliness and resentment of prescribed drudgery manifested itself in an allconsuming desire to escape It was an almost quintessential rockstar story rebellion transgression fame drugs escapades fading glory That is until he turned on the news one lateOctober evening in 1984 and saw a short story about a famine that moved him and changed his life The next year Mr Geldof was in the Sahel region of Africa overseeing distribution of the 140 million he and his fellow musicians ultimately helped to raise in one of the largest charity efforts ever organized
