GO-GO CITY: Displacement & Protest in D.C.

Doc / USA / 50 min / Director: Samuel George

For decades, Washington DC has stood as a beacon for Black culture and community. Yet a breakneck wave of gentrification threatens to erase this history.

Go-Go City dives into this rich tapestry, exploring the culture and sound of the Washington, DC, as well as the forces of economic and cultural gentrification that stand to mute them. The film interweaves scenes of massive 2020 protests against racial inequality that filled the streets of the nation’s capital for weeks. Follow along as displaced communities rally around the city’s beloved Go-Go music to retake the streets.

Director: Samuel George is a documentary filmmaker and analyst for the Bertelsmann Foundation, focusing on the intersection of economics, politics, the digital revolution, and daily life.

Filming on the ground from the Turkish – Syrian border to the factories of Juárez, Mexico, his documentaries dive inside the social impact of critical crossroads around the globe. His last film, Swing State Florida (www.SwingStateFlorida.com) won a series of awards.
