Up until 2019, residents lived in the Barry Farm Dwellings in Washington, DC. Built on fields that were once worked by the enslaved, free Blacks had purchased the land during Reconstruction and built one of DC's first thriving Black communities. Here, the city constructed a sprawling public housing complex in the 1940s, beloved by insiders, if notorious to outsiders. Here, the movement for Welfare Rights took shape. Here, the Junkyard Band honed its chops on homemade instruments before putting a turbocharge into the city's Go-Go music. Now empty fields again, the area is a gold mine for developers, with sweeping views of the capital and shiny new buildings just breaking ground. This documentary tells this story of a journey for community, land, and for justice. It is a story of Barry Farm, but it is also a story of Washington, DC. And, in the cycles of place and displacement, it is a story of the United States of America.
