As announced on January 5, 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!
Until then, here the trailer again:
