More of a podcast than an audio book... still a well-written expose of MOVE in contrast to LiveAID. Kevin Hart rightly calls out that many Philadelphians do not know what happened with MOVE - I had read the Inq's very good anniversary coverage of it in 2015 and actually do know about its history but get it... it's not commonly spoken of in Philly's racial, political and policing issues these days. Maybe I didn't know the details nor the overlap with LiveAID and the other events of that year, which gave the book another angle that had more celeb-drop-in and audio clips that detracted from the sheer rage and sorrow, i suppose purposefully so. The juxtaposition is pretty stark and questions are still apt, and Hart is an impassioned narrator.

Great audiobook. I never had heard about MOVE. I’ve always been moved by Live Aid. The behind the scenes is quite interesting.
