“I’ll be There…” (Henry Fonda) in
“The Grapes of Wrath” (1940)

“… a little piece of a Big Soul,
the one that belongs to everybody.”

“Whenever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat,
I’ll be there.”

The Grapes of Wrath: Tom Joad will be Everywhere (20th Century Fox) 1940
From 20th Century Fox (1940) The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck clip with Henry Fonda & Jane Darwell. Darwell won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath a role that was given at the insistence of Henry Fonda. She was a contract player with 20th Century Fox. Fonda himself also was nominated for Best Actor, but did not win. However John Ford won the coveted Best Director award on the 1940 classic. Remember to be kind to others as you would like them to treat you and perhaps Tom Joad would smile down on this earth with a sense of accomplishment.

The music video took four days to shoot, but I travelled to Michigan a couple weeks early to find the right people. It was very important for us to find real people that resonated with the stories, rather than casting actors. We wanted the history of the song and the communities we filmed in to come through in our video. For example, Steve Smith, who plays the blind man in our music video, actually worked for Motown when ‘What’s Going On’ was originally recorded. The church we filmed in was one of the first establishments to set up a water station for the Flint community - they would hand out clean water and raise awareness on the ongoing crisis within the community. In addition to Steve Smith, we had the opportunity to feature other influential community figures in our music video, including Karen Weaver, the mayor of Flint, and pivotal activists that have been involved in the Flint Water Crisis for many years. One such activist in our music video is named Ariana Hawk, who, along with her young son, was featured on the cover of Time Magazine during the height of the water crisis. She ended up moving from Flint, only to return in order to continue the fight for her community. To this day, the Flint Water Crisis has yet to be resolved, and Ariana continues to be a strong activist in the movement. "The point is that this is a historic song for an important moment in history, and what’s beautiful is that it’s message is timeless and universal. It’s about human emotions, human relationships, and a coming together. My hope is that our music video will remind people to continue asking the question Marvin Gaye asked in 1971.” - Director: Savanah Leaf Music video by Marvin Gaye performing What's Going On (Official Video 2019). © 2019 UMG Recordings, Inc. #MarvinGaye #WhatsGoingOn
