Organized by the Emmy and Academy Award-winning composer, artist, record/film/TV producer, arranger, conductor and multi-media entrepreneur Quincy Jones, the DVD concert film portrays this once-in-a lifetime global event--attended by one roughly million people at the historic and picturesque Circus Maximus in Rome, Italy (May 16, 2004). Proceeds from the WE ARE THE FUTURE DVD and concert (through broadcast rights) raise funds to build and maintain We Are The Future Child Centers--whose goal is to mobilize global resources for the benefit of children in conflict and post-conflict cities--Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Rwanda and Palestine, to name a few.

The WE ARE THE FUTURE DVD features powerful, electric concert performances and collaborations from Carlos Santana, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Herbie Hancock, Don Was (joining Khaled), legendary composer Ennio Morricone, Andrea Bocelli, Patti Austin, Juanes, Josh Groban, Julian Marley, Angelique Kidjo, Carmen Consoli, Fher (from Mana), Take 6, and the percussion group STOMP as well as Israeli, Palistinian, Pakistani, Italian, Columbian and South African artists. Celebrity presenters include Quincy Jones, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie. Special bonus features include interviews with Quincy Jones, Nastassia Kinski, Carmen Consoli, Naomi Campbell, Angelina Jolie, and Francesco Totti. In addition, the 46-minute featurette "Global Gumbo: The Making of We are the Future" includes excerpts from three performances not included in the main program: Alicia Keys and Julian Marley ("War"), Herbie Hancock ("Chameleon") and the "We are the Future" finale, plus behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsal footage and additional interviews.
