Harry Chapin’s story is finally told in the documentary, Harry Chapin: When In Doubt, Do Something. Chapin was a Grammy Award winner, singer, songwriter and activist. He used his name and entertainment platform to make awareness to end poverty and hunger around the world. 

Today he is remembered for his classics “Cats In The Cradle” and “Taxi.” 

Here’s the synopsis of the film:

The film features Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Pete Seeger, Sir Bob Geldof, Kenny Rogers, Graham Nash, Pat Benatar, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Robert Lamm, Richie Havens, and Harry Belafonte intimately reflecting on Chapin’s larger-than-life impact on music and the world including his founding, along with Bill Ayres, of WhyHunger – the nonprofit organization leading the movement to end hunger and advance the human right to nutritious food in the U.S. and around the world.
