Cats in the Cradle 50th Anniversary is a feature length documentary film about the iconic song that has changed the lives of millions of parents and children around the world. The story is about the powerful universal effect the song has had on generations of parents regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or age. The song was written by Harry Chapin and his wife Sandy in 1974 and explores the relevance and power of the song 50 years later. The song was written as a poem by Sandy about the father of her first husband who never had time for his children. It was given to Harry as a warning to not be that kind of Dad after their son Josh was born, While the film explores Harry's fatherhood by his children, the story is really about all of us. With interviews with people from around the world who point to the song as a lesson on being a parent that is present in their children's lives.
Superstar music artists who have recorded the song or knew Harry including Billy Joel, Pat Benatar, Dee Snyder, Judy Collins, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels. Ugly Kid Joe, Mandy Patinkin, and others tell their life stories about the effect the song has had on them. YouTube Reaction videos from the younger generation from all over the world adds a youthful and entertaining element to the film Pop culture references are sprinkled throughout the film showing the power of the song in all parts of society adding a very fun and entertaining element to the film.
