Bob Geldof: Bono as we all know, is in love with the world, he's enamoured by it. I'm enraged by it. He wants to give the world a great big hug, I want to punch its lights out.

User Reviews

Music and Politics

"Get Up, Stand Up" is an interesting,intelligent and impressive documentary which treats the great influence that music has on the political events in the countries throughout the world.The 6 parts of the film include various events and persons who are connected with music and politics.The struggle against the racial discrimination in the USA,the battle against the hunger in Africa and even the war in Iraq are discussed by people such as the famous singer Pete Seeger or actors like Martin Sheen who are involved in the political events.This documentary makes you think of the great iniquities that politicians commit but also shows us people from the show-business who are not afraid of telling the truth.The symbol of the documentary is the great song "We shall overcome".
