Runtime

Synopsis

Marion Barry is a prominent figure in Washington, D.C. politics, remembered by many as a mayor embroiled in scandal, including drug use and personal misconduct, which led to his reputation as a symbol of corruption. To others, he is seen as a resilient political leader who has maintained influence in the city for more than four decades. Barry has recently regained attention in the political sphere, prompting questions about his legacy: is he a hero or a scoundrel?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
