Produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Burns in 1981, I Remember Barbra profiles the broad and lasting impact superstar Barbra Streisand has had on her former neighbors in Brooklyn, New York. But more than that, this candid, funny and often touching documentary offers canny insights into the unique nature of fame. Featuring interviews with teachers, former classmates, fans and even a celebrity look-alike, the film was an immediate hit with audiences and critics. It received the prestigious "Student Academy Award" for Documentary Achievement given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and was chosen to screen at the 1984 Olympics by the American Film Institute.
