POP AND POLITICS: Fight The Power

Get Up Stand Up is an investigation and celebration of the fact that pop is so much more than simply "popular music".

Featuring Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Curtis Mayfield, Peter Gabriel, Artists United Against Apartheid, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Crosby Stills Nash, REM, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Bob Geldorf, Band Aid, Eric Claphton, Bad Religion, USA For Africa, Sting, U2, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye ....

Part 3 FIGHT THE POWERThe anarchistic 60s protest culture is replaced by strategic pop PR. Wider issues like war and human rights are replaced by targeted campaigns against nuclear power plants and Amazonian deforestation, US foreign policy in central America, the British Army in Ireland, the death penalty and the proliferation of landmines..
