While most people are aware of Harry Belafonte the entertainer,
the political side of his life- equally as impressive and
far reaching- has been largely kept a secret until now. Get
Them to Sing Your Song is a filmed biography of the
world renowned entertainer and humanitarian who broke records
and racial barriers on a global scale with his recordings,
concerts, movies and television appearances.
The film explores the willpower, endurance and determination
that propelled Harry Belafonte from the son of a dometic worker
to Tony and emmy award-winner, gold-record seller and key
political player.
