An excerpt from the NY Daily News states:
"NY Daily News: Johnny Depp film features new U2 song
[6th/11/1995]
Source : NY Daily News
Don’t offer Johnny Depp any Evian.
The actor is just one of a brigade of celebrities taking a stand against French nuclear testing in the South Pacific. They’vejoined a boycott of French goods that has been going strong in Germany, Australia, New Zealand and England, whereeven Princess Diana has refused French strawberries.
Depp, Paul McCartney, Cindy Crawford, Simon LeBon, Naomi Campbell, Depp’s girlfriend Kate Moss and others posed for nuclear-free South Pacific posters plastered all over London. And Depp has made a short film on the underground tests featuring a new U2 anthem which debuted Saturday night at the 212 Group party at Industria......................."
This would put the video debut at November 4, 1995.
I saved the text from the above article some time in the past. Searching for this article online, I could not find a reference from the Daily News, as the archives only go back to 1997. The JohnnyDeppFan site makes reference to this video and the party at the Industria, but states that the video debuted on Nov. 11 Click here.
