here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nBRHG are very pleased to welcome Arlen Harris<\/strong> (co-director) and Luke Daniels<\/strong> to Bristol to discuss this new documentary profiling the Guyanese revolutionary Walter Rodney.<\/p>\n\u2018Walter Rodney: What they don\u2019t Want you to Know\u2019<\/em><\/strong> is an original 72-minute documentary featuring a murder, Cold War conspiracies, Black Power, the end of Empire, and how that connects to the policing, surveillance practices and social movements of today. This is the first film where Walter\u2019s widow reveals the personal impact on the family of Walter\u2019s assassination<\/em><\/strong>. 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. Contributors include Angela Davis, Gina Miller, former President of Guyana Donald Ramotar,<\/em><\/strong> Edward and Donald Rodney and Walter\u2019s wife Patricia Rodney,<\/em><\/strong> as well as prominent\u00a0historians. The film premiered at the British Film Institute largest screen to a sell-out audience of 450, the BFI is Britain\u2019s most prestigious film organisation.<\/p>\nWe reveal that historian Dr Walter Rodney\u00a0was under security surveillance from the age of 19, after visiting Russia and Cuba as a student. He was seen as subversive both as an academic and as an activist who supported anti-colonial movements and civil rights. Shockingly, a British secret propaganda unit paid\u00a0for negative reviews of his work. It was perceived as a threat to the British post-colonial narrative and interests.<\/em><\/strong> The book \u2018How Europe Underdeveloped Africa\u2019<\/em> is now a staple of university courses across the globe and Rodney is an inspiration for the social movements of today, whether BLM, Pan-Africanism, or reparations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThe documentary uses declassified security service documents<\/strong>, revealing interviews and reconstructio<\/strong>n to tell an important, yet little known story. filmed with local crews in\u00a0six countries in the Caribbean, US, Africa and the UK detailing Rodney\u2019s global influence.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-08-171116-604x186.jpg\")
