Filmmaker and director Barry Jenkins makes movies that make statements. While you may know him best for his film Moonlight, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017, Barry's been honing his craft for years.
In this episode from 2009, Tania and Barry reflect upon Barry's complex relationship with a contradictory San Francisco, the city that he once called home, and how this is reflected in his 2008 film Medicine for Melancholy. The movie features two African Americans who begin their one-day love story with a drunken one night stand.
