Join the NYU Gallatin Amplified Voices Series and Radical Books Collective for a film screening of the newly released documentary, Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You to Know, to be followed by a moderated conversation with film director Arlen Harris.
The documentary uses declassified security service documents, revealing interviews and reconstruction to tell an important, yet little-known story and detailing Rodney’s global influence. Contributors include Angela Davis, Gina Miller, former President of Guyana Donald Ramotar, Edward and Donald Rodney, and Rodney’s wife Patricia Rodney.
Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You to Know is supported by The Walter Rodney Foundation and directed by father-and-son team Daniyal Harris-Vajda and Arlen Harris. In the last two years, Harris-Vajda worked as an Assistant Producer, Cameraman, and Editor at Noah Media Group. Harris is an award-winning program-maker with over 30 years’ experience in print, TV, and radio, working mainly for British television for World in Action, Panorama, and Dispatches.
