Synopsis

Here, in a corner of the nation's capital seldom glimpsed by tourists, lies a city of stark contrasts. Seventy-five percent Black, it grapples with pervasive poverty, yet is governed by figures who were instrumental in the civil rights struggle – organizers known for their strength and resolve, such as Mayor Marion Barry. This Washington, D.C., reveals a side of the capital rarely seen, a place where resilience and struggle intertwine.
