| Summary |
With unprecedented access, THE NINE LIVES OF MARION BARRY tells the continuing saga of this despised, beloved and resilient politician. Its the potent story of race, power, sex and drugs; the tale of a complex and contradictory man who is the star of one of the most fascinating and bizarre chapters of American politics.. Who is Marion Barry? Cherished hero? Abysmal disgrace? Was he the victim of persecution or did he set himself up? How is he viewed by his enemies, his followers -- by Black and White America?. Official Selection at the Silver Docs Documentary Film Festival.. “The rise and fall (and rise and fall and rise—how many is that?) of Marion Barry is a story worth telling…This is a riveting history.” - Newsday |
