As a film director, Brown co-directed the documentary film The War at Home (1979), for which it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and was one of the youngest nominees for the category.

Barry’s latest feature film, titled, Son of the South was just released on February 8th and is a poignant true story set in Montgomery, Alabama about the life of Bob Zellner, the grandson of a Klansman who must choose which side of history to be on during the Civil Rights Movement. Defying his family and white Southern norms, he fought against social injustice, repression and violence during the civil rights era.
