Barry Farm: Community, Land, and Justice in Washington, D.C. screening and discussion

Join the Bertelsmann Foundation and the NYU in DC community for a virtual screening and panel discussion on, Barry Farm: Community, Land & Justice in Washington, DC. This is a Bertelsmann Foundation and DC Legacy Project Film directed by Sabiyha Prince and Samuel George, who will take part in the post-film conversation. Joining them on this panel is NYU DC's Academic Fellow and Part-Time Lecturer, Vicky Kiechel.

This documentary film, a collaboration between the Bertelsmann Foundation and the DC Legacy Project, tells a 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.
