Another ticket giveaway! What other Toronto-based music & culture blog is hooking you up like this??! Go ahead, I’ll wait….
This time it’s the Toronto premiere of the documentary, Sing Your Song on singer/actor/activist, Harry Belafonte. For you young’uns, he’s more than just the voice behind the sample for Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz‘ “Six Foot, Seven Foot.” Read on to learn more:
Via Undercurrents:
Back again with another inspiring film screening at the Toronto Underground Cinema (186 Spadina Ave), Undercurrents is proud to present the Toronto premiere of Harry Belafonte: SING YOUR SONG on Friday, May 25, at 8:30 PM. This is more than just the story of a man who made a living singing Day-O. This film takes a brief look at the Civil Rights Movement through the eyes of an insider; someone who despite his high profile, wasn’t afraid to spend time in the trenches.
About The Film
Susanne Rostock’s inspiring biographical documentary, SING YOUR SONG, surveys the life and times of singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte. From his rise to fame as a singer, inspired by Paul Robeson, and his experiences touring a segregated country, to his provocative crossover into Hollywood, Belafonte’s groundbreaking career personifies the American civil rights movement and impacted many other social‐justice movements.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance through ticketpicket.com/singyoursong. The first 25 tickets purchased in advance will receive an 11×17 movie poster. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office on the day of the event. If you’re on Facebook, don’t forget to RSVP HERE.
Sounds amazing, right? You wanna go, right? Well hit the jump to see the trailer and to find out how to win a FREE pair of tickets for the screening….
