Walter Rodney: What they don’t want you to know

Featuring a murder, Cold War conspiracies, Black Power, the end of the Empire, and how that connects to the policing and surveillance practices of today, ‘Walter Rodney: what they don’t want you to know’ feeds a growing appetite for history from a different perspective, as we grapple with the legacy of empire, colonialism, and its impact on the modern world. This is the first film where Walter’s widow reveals the personal impact on the family of Walter’s assassination. Contributors include Angela Davis, Gina Miller, former President of Guyana Donald Ramotar, Edward and Donald Rodney, and Walter’s wife Patricia Rodney, as well as prominent historians. The film premiered at the British Film Institute’s largest screen to a sell-out audience of 450, the BFI is Britain’s most prestigious film organisation.
