The documentary FOLLOWING HARRY will be released Nationwide in the US on Amazon, Apple TV, Fandango and all other major VOD platforms on October 13. The film will also be released Nationwide in Canada on Amazon and Apple TV on October 13.

Directed by Susanne Rostock (Sing Your Song), FOLLOWING HARRY joins legendary artist and civil rights leader Harry Belafonte as he embarks on a deeply personal and reflective journey, inspiring the next generation of entertainers and activists to disrupt injustice across the globe, striving for impactful change.

FOLLOWING HARRY is an intimate documentary that chronicles the last twelve years of legendary Harry Belafonte's life, highlighting the artist-activist's enduring commitment to social justice. 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, the Women's March (which was created in his office), to the deeply and profound conversations in his home. The film ultimately amplifies Harry's belief that 'each generation must be responsible for itself. 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.'

The film is produced by Frankie Nasso, Edward Zeng, and Susanne Rostock. Executive Producers include Mimi Polk Gitlin, David Dinerstein, Pamela Belafonte and Jeff Kranzdorf. The Co-Executive Producers are Irene Mu and Kimberly Olsen, and the film is produced by NextG, SparkIce, and Belafonte-Nasso-Zeng Productions, in co-production with MML. The Cinematographer is Martina Radwan and the music for the film was composed by Hahn Rowe.

The film features Harry Belafonte, Aja Monet, Angela Davis, Aloe Blacc, Carmen Perez, Chuck D, Gina Belafonte, Jamie Foxx, Jesse Williams, Kerry Kennedy, Matt Post, Phillip Agnew, Rod Starz, Rosario Dawson, Sean Pica, & Talib Kweli and many more.

FOLLOWING HARRY was an Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and Martha's Vineyard Film Festival, and won the Sidewalk Film Festival Jury Award, The BronzeLens Cinema & Social Justice Award, and the Cleveland International Film Festival FilmSlam Award.
