Synopsis
One Love Manchester (2017) is a benefit concert film you can watch online on iFILM. It captures the show Ariana Grande pulled together in just days, after the bombing at her Manchester arena gig that May.
Staged at the Old Trafford cricket ground, the near-three-hour program brought a lineup you rarely see share one bill: Coldplay, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Take That, Robbie Williams, Little Mix, Usher, The Black Eyed Peas. Grande closes the night, and a crowd of sixty thousand sings every word back — pop music doing the work of group therapy.
The broadcast was directed by Hamish Hamilton, the man behind Oscar telecasts and stadium headline shows, so the camera catches both the stage and the tear-streaked faces in the stands. Every penny raised went to victims and bereaved families. Worth it for the once-off lineup and the mood of a city that refused to flinch. Stream One Love Manchester (2017) online on iFILM.
