HARRY CHAPIN: WHEN IN DOUBT, DO SOMETHING, presented with ArtsRock

Award-winning singer/songwriter Harry Chapin (Taxi and Cats in the Cradle) spent his fame and fortune chasing a dream to end world hunger and poverty, and in the process inspired, changed, and saved the lives of millions of people.
