Film Festival Honors Harry Belafonte With Activism Award
The Greenwich Time reports the Greenwich International Film Festival honored Belafonte with its first Changemaker Honoree award at a gala Saturday night.
Mia Farrow was also an honoree, but could not attend the gala due to a scheduling conflict.
Belafonte says he found the occasion thrilling.
Festival organizers partnered with UNICEF and showed short films from the organization’s OneMinutesJr. Program– a project in which children from around the world make short films about their lives and circumstances.

Festival co-founder Wendy Stapleton Reyes says both entertainers have used their platforms to make the world a better place.
