DAVID HAREWOOD





David Harewood MBE is an actor, director, author and activist. With a career
spanning almost 35 years, David has performed on stage with some of the most
prestigious theatres and across TV and Film on some of the biggest networks in
the world. In 2021 David wrapped the final season of Supergirl, a role that
alongside DC Comics and Warner Bros saw him make his directorial debut, adding
yet another string to his bow of creativity and talent. 



Through his exploration of important and often difficult subjects, David has
become a driving force for systematic and cultural change. From his documentary
‘David Harewood: Psychosis and Me’ highlighting his battle with mental health in
his twenties, to the influences and injustices that come from simply being born
as a person of colour in documentaries such as Black is the New Black, Could
Britain Ever Have a Black Prime Minister and Why Is Covid Killing People of
Colour?, in addition to his work with UNICEF to protect children in danger –
David is a true change maker in every sense of the word. He has helped raise
awareness as well as millions of pounds for so many charities, organisations and
individuals across our collective global communities. 

In September 2021, his first book ‘Maybe I Don’t Belong Here: A Memoir of Race,
Identity, Breakdown and Recovery’ will be published via Pan Macmillian alongside
his return home to the UK.




WHY IS COVID KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOUR?







In a brand new documentary David Harewood investigates the shocking statistics
that Covid-19 is killing people of colour far beyond their white counterparts.
By speaking to a number of medical professionals and people who have lost loved
ones as a result of Covid-19 his journey takes him much deeper in to
socio-economic findings alongside the influence of systematic racism and
oppression. We have all been affected by the virus in the last twelve months and
this documentary shines a light on specific communities and industry roles.
There are some harsh truths, realities and discoveries that this documentary
uncovers in an often hard to watch hour of TV.



DAVID HAREWOOD: PSYCHOSIS AND ME







David Harewood: Psychosis and Me was first aired on BBC Two during Mental Health
Awareness Week of 2019. What began as a documentary to retrace the steps and
look into why David had a breakdown in his twenties, very quickly went on to
help break down the stigma surrounding psychosis. The language we now associate
with psychosis has changed dramatically for the better. And for many a diagnosis
of psychosis is now far less of a taboo subject. Following the broadcast of the
documentary visits to Mind’s psychosis pages rose by 107 per cent in comparison
to the daily average. Psychosis and Me has gone on to win multiple awards
alongside receiving a BAFTA nomination. But what David is most proud of is its
direct impact. People still stop him to say thank you, for how it has helped
them or a loved one understand and tell their own story of psychosis.





STARRING DAVID




David Harewood is best known for his portrayal of David Estes in Homeland,
Captain Poison in Blood Diamond, Hank Henshaw / Jon J’onzz in Supergirl, Joel
Steadman in The Night Manager and for his portrayal of Abe Wilkins in Free in
Deed.
