WALTER RODNEY: WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW (2023)
This original documentary featuring a murder, Cold War conspiracies, Black Power, the end of the Empire, and how that connects to the policing, surveillance practices, and social movements of today. This is the first film where Walter's widow reveals the personal impact on the family of Walter's assassination.
It feeds a growing global appetite for history from a different perspective, as we grapple with the legacy of empire and colonialism and its impact on the modern world. The documentary reveals that Dr. Walter Rodney was seen as subversive both as an academic and as an activist who supported anti-colonial movements and civil rights.
