Instant Karma

INSTANT KARMA is the untold true story of Help, the groundbreaking 1995 charity album that brought together 20 of Britain’s biggest artists to record an entire album in a single day – raising millions for children caught in the Bosnian War.

Through newly unearthed and restored archival footage, along with candid interviews, the film reveals how a small, scrappy team pulled off what became known as the “musical heist” of the decade: convincing legends like Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Oasis, Brian Eno, and The Stone Roses to join the cause with just weeks’ notice, navigating chaotic recording sessions, and rushing the finished album into stores in record time.

The result? A platinum-selling album in 24 hours, a global media sensation, and a powerful catalyst for humanitarian action.

Now, 30 years later, today’s biggest artists return to Abbey Road Studios with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Depeche Mode, Fontaines D.C., Florence + The Machine) to create a new album inspired by Help’s legacy.

This multi-format production is a celebration of music’s power to unite, to inspire, and to save lives.
