The seven days on the road that this movie captures and presents, from the campaign-like schedule of private meetings and public events, to the quiet moments of reverie it captures Bono, Agnes, and others in, are the beginning of a movement, that, as Bono tells a group of college students, "will change the world." In fact it did change the world.
As a result of the tour, thousands of conscientious Americans called the White House in December 2002 to request an "historic AIDS initiative" (6,500 Africans die of HIV/AIDS each day and another 9,500 are infected with the disease), and in response in the 2003 State of the Union the President proposed just such a plan, since enjoying bipartisan support in the Congress. This was the doing of people in the "heart of America," which beats throughout this documentary.
