This intimate, inspiring portrait surveys the life and times of singer, actor, and activist Harry Belafonte. From his rise to fame in a segregated era, to his provocative crossover into Hollywood, Belafonte’s groundbreaking career personifies the civil rights movement. Off-screen, he has been equally tireless—fighting against apartheid, gang violence and the incarceration of youth. Through it all, an indomitable sense of optimism has motivated him, as even today he asks, “What do we do next?”
“A motivational look at an important figure in history who inspired change.”
—Los Angeles Times
“A celebration of singer, actor and social activist Harry Belafonte. Moving and enlightening as it serves up a crash-course in 20th-century history…”
