Join Homerton Changemakers for a special showing of the new film Walter Rodney: What They Don't Want You to Know. The documentary explores the life, work, and state-sponsored assassination of the influential Caribbean intellectual and Black radical Dr Walter Rodney. Filmed in Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, Tanzania, the US, and the UK, and featuring interviews with the likes of Angela Davis, Patricia Rodney, Gina Miller, and former President of Guyana Donald Ramotar, the film situates Rodney in the context of Cold War conspiracies, the Black Power movement, and anti-colonial struggles around the end of Empire. The documentary was supported by The Walter Rodney Foundation and the Ameena Gafoor Institute.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Arlen Harris, activist and writer Cindy Forde, and historian and radical lawyer Paul Field.
