Bye Bye Barry

When NFL superstar Barry Sanders vanished at the height of his career, he left the NFL world in shock. He was still in his prime, chasing the all-time NFL rushing record when he boarded a flight to England and never stepped foot on the field again. Now, 24 years later, Barry retraces his steps through the streets of London to finally confront the mystery.

Directed by Micaela Powers, Paul Monusky, Angela Torma, Bye Bye Barry leans on a strong ensemble — Barry Sanders, Eminem, Jeff Daniels — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
