Lionel Richie and Bao Nguyen from Sundance's The Greatest Night in Pop

Welcome to day one of our Sundance/Slamdance film festival coverage! Today we're focusing on the Sundance documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which recaps the one night that 46 of the biggest singers/stars of 1985 gathered to record the song We Are the World.

Return guest/director Bao Nguyen shares how/why he was offered this project, the fun and nostalgia he hopes to bring to those who watch it, and how this film was also an homage to his immigrant parents who would play American music to help them assimilate into life in the US. Then we bring you to the red carpet premiere of the film where we get to speak to the one and only LIONEL RICHIE!!

The Greatest Night in Pop is available right now on Netflix
