The story of Barry Farm is seen as representative of broader patterns of place and displacement in American history, with Barry Farm's redevelopment being a microcosm of these larger trends.
Take a left off of the Anacostia Freeway in Washington, DC – what do you see? You see empty fields. If you are a developer, you see a gold mine. But these fields hold powerful memories. Over centuries, Barry Farm emerged as an historic African American community in the nation’s capital. Today, the neighborhood faces the tremendous pressures of redevelopment. This film tells a story of Barry Farm, but, in the cycles of place and displacement, it is a story of the United States.
