Where can I watch Barry based on a true story?
But as much as director Vikram Gandhi's film is motivated by presenting a young Barack Obama as a vessel for different conversations of identity, race and what defines an American, its scant narrative eloquence limits those ideas to mere food for thought. Devon Terrell's performance as Barry is warm, always leading with empathy and a genuine smile.
A young Barack Obama forges his identity while dealing with race, divergent cultures and ordinary life as a New York City college student. Watch trailers & learn more.
