Sometimes generations and cultures clash, but sometimes they connect. Fugazi’s Barber explores the unlikely and unique relationship between bleeding edge punk rockers from the DC music scene and the old-school barber that kept them sharp. Through personal stories that fondly recall the appeal and power of tradition in life, music, career, and neighborhood, this documentary will connect viewers to relationships that are shaped and held together by community. Beyond age, community members find power in mutual respect and shared ground at the barber shop.
