DC Caribbean FilmFest: FOLLOWING HARRY

DC Caribbean FIlmFest: FOLLOWING HARRY

This intimate documentary chronicles the last 12 years of the legendary Harry Belafonte’s life, highlighting the artist-activist’s enduring commitment to social justice. Belafonte was fueled by his tremendous sense of urgency to inspire the next generation of entertainers and activists to stand for justice. The film provides a window into both his public endeavors and private moments, capturing his journey from the aftermath of the death of Trayvon Martin, to his engagements in the protests in Ferguson and the 2017 Women’s March (which he co-chaired), to deeply profound conversations in his home. The film ultimately amplifies Belafonte’s belief that “each generation must be responsible for itself.” In his own words: “All I can do is leave behind the crumbs of my experience. I have a trail that you can follow, if you find value in it, pick it up and, if you don’t, bring something better.” (Note courtesy of Film Collaborative.)
