Tell Me Why

Shakesperean in its proportions, Tell Me Why is a character-driven, psychological drama structured on actual events with people who defined an era and whose tragedy shocked the world. Bob Geldof and Paula Yates defined the 80s, inciting public interest as much for their work as their private life. There was no other couple like them, and for two decades, they appeared to have it all. By the 90s, though, the fairy tale was over. The turmoil surrounding the Geldof-Yates-Hutchence drama dominated the 90s played out through the prurient lens of a hostile media, and to this day still holds as a great romantic tragedy of the celebrity age. But there is so much more to their story than media pejoratives and sensationalist headlines. Visceral and haunting, this story reclaims the legacy of three uniquely talented, inimitable icons who defined an era and inspired a generation.
