  • "An Extraordinary Documentary"

    Christiane Amanpour | CNN

  • "What a beautiful and thoughtful presentation of Harry Belafonte's life and his contribution. We had no idea just how wide his influence, his support, his inspiration, his joy and his LOVE LOVE LOVE was."

    Chris Blackwell | Island Records

  • "This is an absolutely phenomenal film ... let us give a big hand for all these artists and activists - for the work they've done, the work they are doing, the work they will do in the future."

    Angela Davis

  • "This was like a magical baton...it's going to be up to your generation to use your energy to magnetize the masses."

    Chuck D

  • "Harry was that rare type of character that radiates greatness, and you hope that some of it rubs off on you. The man commands respect. You know he never took the easy path, though he could have."

    Bob Dylan

  • "In the film, Belafonte recalls Dr. King saying 'I fear that we are integrating into a burning house.' Belafonte responds, 'What will we become?' King answers, 'We’re just going to have to become firemen.' Indeed this riveting and inspirational film profiles the great heroism of Belafonte who ran into burning buildings to fight for civil rights throughout his life. But it is not a film about distant history, rather a reminder of the battles of the last few decades, and what it means to be someone who consistently shows up to fight against injustice.”
