    HARRY CHAPIN: WHEN IN DOUBT, DO SOMETHING is the inspiring story of Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/activist Harry Chapin (“Cat’s in the Cradle”).

    It made me cry just to watch the trailer. So I am sure it will be difficult to watch the whole piece. Harry Chapin dying affected me more than the death of anyone I don't have a personal relationship with. I don't know anyone who had a sweeter spirit. I had the opportunity to sit and talk to him a couple of times. I once bought 19 seats in the center section of the 6th row of one of his concerts and gave the tickets to my friends because I wanted them to have seen Harry Chapin.

      Hope this generates some new attention, his catalog desperately needs attention too. Vinyl reissues, Deluxe Editions with demos & live tracks. There must be so much stuff in the vaults!

    He died before I had the chance to see him. My family and I fight hunger in the homeless community weekly and I was inspired by him. ❤️

      I'm so glad that I was blessed to see him a few times. He played for hours longer than anyone. I highly recommend you watch some of the concerts of him online. They're wonderful and they capture a bit of the magic! The live concerts of both him and John Denver that have shown up here are true blessings. I'm looking forward to seeing both of them and concert when I get to the other side. I can only imagine the new songs that he'll have to ing!!

    Excellent documentary on Harry Chapin, big fan of the singer/songwriter/hunger activist since the '70s. I remember hearing the shocking news of his passing and later seeing the tractor that collided into his car at a shipping yard in NJ.

    I met Harry Chapin in the lobby of Carnegie Hall. During the concert he invited people to hang out there for him to come out and chat. And I did, and soon he did. We talked about that famous 30,000 pounds of bananas - a true story from my home town - SCRANTON, PA, also the birthplace of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. He was genuinely warm and friendly!

    I wonder if they were to make a movie based on his life and his impact if they would to it justice I wonder who in hollywood would play that man. If I was a movie director (I am not) my dream project would be the story of that man. Love his music.

      How sad that we are in February 2021 and this is the 1st time hearing of this. Why has there been no press? And you can't tell me they couldn't found a PR person, since none of us have any work to do. I have to go try to find this

    • @DavidKRandom

      @@ellenw391 As near as I can tell, the PR focused on Facebook, which is where Harry's fan demographic is easiest to find, and Greenwich promoted the film to indy theaters. It's on streaming channels, fairly easy to find. Outside of Long Island, few conventional media outlets were likely to take notice of the film's release.

      @@DavidKRandom I'm in at least one Harry official FB group and never saw a thing. And respectfully, as someone who does PR for a living (and a good chunk of it in the entertainment/star level musicians category), this could have been HUGE, especially during the pandemic, when we are starved for the arts, and many are feeling nostalgic. It could have been tied in with the hunger issues people are suffering today and the man who was one of the 1st to bring it to national attention. Why not do a remix on either Taxi or Cats in the Cradle? That alone is newsworthy not to mention hopefully a viral video. Why not line up stars, from Springsteen, James Taylor etc (ALL of whom were doing immensely popular videos esp during early lockdown), and get them all to do a Harry song? These are literally the things that popped to mind w/out really trying. And so many more are coming to mind. I could cry at the missed opportunities. Harry deserved better IMHO! PS media outlets seldom take notice. You have to bring what you are promoting to their attention!

    Now I'm truly frustrated. Does anyone know how to get this to stream? It only showed me local theaters. I have a severe auto immune disease So I will not be going to a local theater until this pandemic is under control. But I will gladly pay to stream it. I'm so happy this was done, but what a poor job of promoting and packaging it! Sure hope the product is better!
