Barry could be any half-black, half-white kid from the '80s. Terrell is key, steadying his character as smooth-operating, socially active, contemplative fellow stuck in an interracial divide. Barry avoids hagiography by staying in the moment, weighing race issues of a modern age and quieting down for the audience to draw its own conclusions. As Barry imagines, just days after settling into his civics class, a white classmate confronts the Barry with an argument one will find in the future President's Twitter 'Why does everything always got to be about slavery?' Exaltation is cinematic danger, especially when bringing the life of a sitting President to screen. Why it’s great: In 1981, Barack Obama touched down in New York City to begin work at Columbia University. Cast: Devon Terrell, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Mitchell, Ashley Judd
