The TUC will be hosting a film screening of Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You to Know, followed by a panel discussion.

This 72-minute documentary explores the life of renowned historian, academic, and civil rights activist Dr Walter Rodney. Filmed with local crews in six countries in the Caribbean, US, Africa, and the UK, the film connects an assassination, Cold War conspiracies, Black Power, the end of Empire, and shows how this connects to the policing, surveillance practices, and social movements of today. 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.

Directors: Daniyal Harris-Vajda, Arlen Harris
