I'm 72 years old and I still have my 'We Are the World' t-shirt. 🥰💖

Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Harry Belafonte, and Quincy Jones, thank you for this masterpiece of a song, and the legacy that lives on with it.

[CamillaMR]

We need more of these documentaries on Netflix ! PERIOD !

Amazing music documentary, fully exposes the prime genius of Michael Jackson and how humble he is in delivering this song. What's also exposed is the impeccable heart of Lionel Richie, Harry Belafonte, and Quincy Jones. Maybe seeing how Stevie Wonder was so important in resolving the Bob Dylan solo which is a highlight of the song. Hearing how Prince never showed up is also surprising. I will now listen to this song with new ears. I'm not sure if today's music artists could repeat this incredible feat of recording history. Certainly shows how in the 80's is was very different times.

As an '80s kid, I am excited to watch this. I was 13 when this aired. Michael Jackson ruled back then, and music was so amazing and creative. There was just a feeling in the air back then that you can't explain. There will never be anything like the '80s. I feel so sorry for the kids today; they will never know that amazing era. 🥰

I literally just finished this on Netflix, and I had tears in my eyes because not only did I experience this song as a kid in the 80s, I experienced the 80s as a kid.
And it really was a special time, in time.
All the artists who contributed and took part here just verifies how amazing and special that era was.
Truly an epic time to be alive.

I'm very moved Michael deserves to be recognized not only for what he did for the music industry but also for his humanitarianism

[yssync]

I cried my eyes out! Miss Michael! What a talent he had... I have so much respect for Lionel now as well. Huey is as humble as he was back then still. Stevie! Bob Dylan! The boss!!! Love good old 80's! Although Prince didn't show up, I'm sure he and Michael are singing and dancing together in heaven.

[PeytonMusic]

This is one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen, and so incredibly uplifting. It's exactly what we all need to be watching and remembering right about now.

To this day, EVERY TIME I hear Steve Perry’s line, I get goosebumps…EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

[robertocaesar]

In spite of the memes about this recording, this documentary is essential. Watching the vulnerability of Bob Dylanʼs own recognition that he can't be on par of those greats is heartwarming. How he supports himself on Stevie, and how he manages to pull it off even saying «that's not good enough» to the congratulations of everyone, which put a smile on his somber face is wonderful. And the documentary ends with his voice as the last sound. I've never been Bob Dylanʼs fan, but this makes me admire the guy.
Also Huey Lewis humbleness to realize he's fighting to get in tune. To admit he's filling shoes when he was not supposed to have a solo, and to admit that it's difficult for him to harmonize. Everything is great about this, and it may be putting the memes to rest.

Loved the footage of Michael grinding on his own in the studio while the other artists were at the AMA’s. So many emotions came flooding in watching that scene

[crisfirestar]

“Enjoy coming home, because there’ll be a time that you cant come home…the house will be there…but the people won’t “ a tear drop when Lionel explains why that studio was that “home”… I also felt it when I miss the 80s, it was a magical time…the 80s is my home and I can’t come home no more 😔😢

[Viver]

Bruce and Cindy's parts actually gave some layer of uniqueness to this song. The song is perfect the way it is.

[ricardoalvarez]

I just finished this documentary. I loved it. Laughed along with the singers in some parts of the movie and in the end just cried my eyes out. Just watching and listening to Michael was just something incredible and made me miss him even more. Thank you legends for this important song in our human history. And thank you Netflix for showing us the story behind this anthem.

[massiveas]

One of the greatest documentaries I've ever watched. Thank you USA for Africa

[RobynHurley-zpsh]

I was a senior in high school when this came out and all of my favorite artists were all together. I cant describe how special it was to see steve perry and michael together. Those were the best of times❤

[SandZAcademy]

Three days after watching the documentary and I'm still thinking about it. Almost four decades after first hearing the song and it still gives me goosebumps. Excellent all around!

[AsimHaneef]

Michael's bridge was spectacular.

[TheSpookyDuke]

😢 Made me choke. A room full of superstars gathered for a very noble cause. Best decade ever, 80s forever!
