Buy-Bye Atlanta

Synopsis

Once celebrated as the Black Mecca of America, Atlanta stood as a living monument to Black progress, pride, and self-determination. But as luxury condos replace historic homes and long-standing communities vanish, the city that once symbolized opportunity now faces a crisis of identity. Bye-Bye Atlanta explores the rise and unraveling of that dream — tracing the city’s journey from Civil Rights stronghold to gentrified capital, through the voices of those who built it and now struggle to stay. Featuring interviews with cultural figures like Grammy-winner Killer Mike, the film captures a city caught between its myth and its future — asking whether the soul of Atlanta can survive the cost of its own success.
