This 1984 companion documentary was made by the same team and at the same time as the video for ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ Directors Nigel Dick and Dave Bridges filmed the artists while they waited for their turn to perform, capturing some of the recording process as it unfolded. One of the cameramen was Roger Deakins who went on to win an Oscar for his cinematography on Bladerunner 2049. #live8 #bandaid #liveaid #dotheyknowitschristmas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAND AID - How the Money is Spent In the financial year to 30 November 2024 Band Aid has awarded grants of £3m across 16 projects to date.
