Beyonce rushed this video into production to respond to Harry Belafonte’s criticism that she and her husband Jay Z turned their backs on their social responsibilities. Beyonce was alarmed by singer Harry Belafonte’s statements blasting the couple for not doing enough for minorities in Hollywood.
Within hours of Belafonte’s statements, Beyonce was posing for photo ops with with UN General Secretary Ban Ki Moon, the day before shooting her video.
Belafonte’s criticism is the latest in personal attacks on the Carter’s for flaunting their wealth on million-dollar artwork and automobiles while donating miniscule amounts of cash to charity.
The Sophie Muller-directed video is the anthem for World Humanitarian Day. Thanks to Thatgrapejuice.net for the video.
