Debut feature film of actor Devon Terrell who portrays the young Barack Obama.
After Southside with You (2016), this is the second film to be made about Barack Obama in 2016. It went into production about a month after Southside with You (2016) premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
The film is inspired by writings from "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama's debut 1995 bestseller. In what's almost an auto-biography, Obama pens reflections on his earlier, scorned life as he struggled to reconcile with his race, scenes of which are portrayed in "Barry" (2016).
The film takes place in the year of 1981 which is about eight years prior to the time Southside with You (2016) is set in which is the year of 1989.
The nick-name of Barack Obama (Devon Terrell) in his earlier years was "Barry" which is this movie's title.
"Charlotte: Where are you from? Barry: Hawaii. Indonesia. Kenya. Take your pick. Charlotte: Really? Um... Ni vizuri kukutana na wewe. Barry: Really? What? In front of all these people? I mean, you're very pretty, and I'm flattered, but... Charlotte: No, that's not what I was trying to say-... Barry: I'm just messing with you. I have no idea what you just said."
"Barry: They're uh, different races. I'm guessing that's what Kathy meant. James Boggs: Ah, I see Barry: My mom's from Kansas, and my dad's from Kenya. I've only met him once though. I grew up in Jakarta and Honolulu, and spent a little time in California, then well, I ended up here. James Boggs: That's some kind of gumbo. James Boggs: You know what that makes you young brother? Barry: No sir, I don't. I uh really really don't. James Boggs: It makes you American. And you don't ever have to choose."
