An inspiring chronicle of the late singer and actor Harry Belafonte in the last dozen years of his life. Wherever Civil Rights were on the line, Belafonte, known affectionately by his followers as "Mr. B," always showed up.

In his last 12 years, Belafonte mentored activists from his past experiences that we see as flashbacks. The daunting injustices are still with us that he worked so hard to solve. This is a fond look at how he encouraged younger people to keep fighting.

Despite the flaws present in “Following Harry,” it still presents Belafonte as an admirable figure who just happened to be a celebrity. He used his platform to advocate for various causes and encouraged others to do the same.
