Join EmpowerDC and the DC History Center for a screening of a sequel to the 2023 Barry Farm documentary which brings the story of Black-led struggle for land and housing into the present.
Barry Farm: A Conversation Across Generations asks viewers: what makes a community? Through intergenerational interviews between members of Campbell AME Church and Roosevelt High School students, this short film is a reflection on love, memory, displacement, and the urgent need to preserve community voices.
After the 25-minute screening, attendees will discuss the documentary themes with the filmmakers in small groups. Together, we’ll consider meaningful changes we can make and actions we can take in our own communities.
