Directed by Susanne Rostock (Sing Your Song), the award-winning Harry Belafonte documentary Following Harry launches on nationwide TVOD in the U.S. and Canada on October 13th.
.
The film chronicles the final twelve years of Belafonte’s life, capturing both his public work and private moments as he urges a new generation of entertainers and activists to confront injustice and fight for lasting change. From the aftermath of Trayvon Martin’s death to Ferguson, the Women’s March (which was created in his office), and intimate conversations at home, the documentary offers a clear view of the artist-activist’s enduring commitment to social justice.
At its core is Belafonte’s belief that each generation must take responsibility for its own time: “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.”

Following Harry is produced by Frankie Nasso, Edward Zeng, and Susanne Rostock. Executive producers include Mimi Polk Gitlin, David Dinerstein, Pamela Belafonte, and Jeff Kranzdorf, with co-executive producers Irene Mu and Kimberly Olsen. The film is produced by NextG, SparkIce, and Belafonte-Nasso-Zeng Productions, in co-production with MML. Cinematography is by Martina Radwan, and the score is composed by Hahn Rowe.
