Barry

Vikram Gandhi's Barry (2016) follows Barack Obama during his Columbia University years — watch it online on iFILM. Devon Terrell plays Barry in the early 1980s: a young man with no clear footing between his white mother's world and Kenyan roots that neither side fully claims.

Anya Taylor-Joy plays a girlfriend, Ashley Judd plays his mother Ann Dunham, and Linus Roach appears as a mentor. Each conversation nudges Barry a little closer to knowing who he wants to become. Gandhi's film has no interest in the president Obama would later be — only in the stretch of his life when nothing was decided yet. Stream Barry (2016) online on iFILM.
