Midnight Oil - Black Rain Falls

About This Movie

So, Midnight Oil's 'Black Rain Falls' is a fascinating slice of music history. It’s set during a 1990 guerrilla concert in the heart of Manhattan, which is pretty unique for its spontaneity and the sheer scale of it—over 10,000 people just showing up. The energy is palpable, you can almost feel the urgency of their message. The band’s raw performance really captures that moment in time, blending activism with their music. The pacing feels almost frenetic, typical of street performances, and it just draws you in. The atmosphere is electric, and it's a testament to how music can spark a crowd into action. A solid watch for anyone interested in the intersection of music and social issues, for sure.
