SUMMARY:Movie "Walter Rodney: What They Don´t Want You to Know"
 ​​​​​​​
DESCRIPTION:Movie "Walter Rodney: What They Don´t Want You to Know"​​
 ​​​​​\nTalk and discussion with filmmaker Arlen Harris\, Bafta 
 Sarbo and René Arnsburg\n\n‘Walter Rodney: What they don’t Want you 
 to Know’ is an original 72-minute documentary featuring a murder\, Cold
  War conspiracies\, Black Power\, the end of Empire\, and how that connect
 s to the policing\, surveillance practices and social movements of today. 
 This is the first film where Walter’s widow reveals the personal impact 
 on the family of Walter’s assassination. It feeds a growing global appe
 tite for history from a different perspective\, as we grapple with the leg
 acy of empire and colonialism and its impact on the modern world. We revea
 l that historian Dr Walter Rodney was under security surveillance from the
  age of 19\, after visiting Russia and Cuba as a student. He was seen as s
 ubversive both as an academic and as an activist who supported anti-coloni
 al movements and civil rights. Shockingly\, a British secret propaganda u
 nit paid for negative reviews of his work. It was perceived as a threat to
  the British post-colonial narrative and interests. The book ‘How Europ
 e Underdeveloped Africa’ is now a staple of university courses across th
 e globe and Rodney is an inspiration for the social movements of today\, 
 whether BLM\, Pan-Africanism\, or anti-imperialism.\n\nThe documentary us
 es declassified security service documents\, revealing interviews and reco
 nstruction to tell an important\, yet little known story. filmed with loc
 al crews in six countries in the Caribbean\, US\, Africa and the UK detail
 ing Rodney’s global influence.\n\nSupported by The Walter Rodney Foundat
 ion\, The Ameena Gafoor Institute &amp\; the Institute of African Studies 
 University Leipzig\n\nhttps://www.walterrodneyfoundation.org\n\nhttps://ww
