Walter Rodney, a historian and activist in the anti-colonial movement, was considered subversive and a threat to British interests. Murdered in 1980 in Guyana by the government, it took 41 years for the Guyanese government to acknowledge the role of the state in his murder. From Guyana, to Barbados, Jamaica, Tanzania, the United States and the United Kingdom, WALTER RODNEY: WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW traces the life of this activist. Filmmakers Daniyal Harris-Vajda and Arlen Harris tell the story of a man who is little known to the general public and who still inspires social movements today.

With Dr. Patricia Rodney and Arlen Harris in attendance.
