????? ?????? ??????: ???? ???? ???’? ???? ??? ?? ????
?????? ??????: ???? ???? ???’? ???? ??? ?? ???? is a feature-lenght documentary that unearths the suppressed story of Guyanese historian and activist ?????? ?????? (1942-1980), whose life was marked by surveillance, resistance, and an untimely assassination. Exploring Cold War conspiracies, colonial resistance, and Black Power, the film connects Rodney’s work to today’s social movements, showing how his revolutionary ideas continue to inspire. Featuring personal accounts from Rodney’s family, particularly his wife ???????? ??????, and insights from figures like ?????? ?????, ???? ??????, and former President of Guyana ?????? ???????, the film is a timely reminder of empire’s lasting impact on the world.

‘???? ?????????? ??????????? ?????? ???? ??? ???? ??? ?????? ?? ??. ?????? ??????, ? ????????? ?????????, ????????, ??? ? ???????? ??? ??? ????? ??????? ???????????’ (??????.???).

?????? ??????: ???? ???? ???’? ???? ??? ?? ???? specifically zooms in on the assassination of Dr. Walter Rodney and the Cold War conspiracies, Black Power movements, and colonial legacies connected to it — all linking to today’s surveillance, policing, and activism. For the first time, Rodney’s widow Patricia Rodney shares the personal toll of his murder on their family. Highlighting the demand for alternative historical perspectives, the film includes insights from Angela Davis, Gina Miller, and former Guyanese President Donald Ramotar. 

Premiering at the British Film Institute’s largest screen to a sold-out audience, the film uncovers Rodney’s surveillance from age 19 after his visits to Russia and Cuba, as his academic and activist work was deemed threatening by British intelligence. A secret propaganda unit even financed negative reviews of his landmark book, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, which remains influential in modern movements like BLM and Pan-Africanism. Through declassified documents, intimate interviews, and reenactments, the documentary captures Rodney’s enduring global legacy, filmed with local crews in the Caribbean, U.S., Africa, and the U.K. Supported by The Walter Rodney Foundation &amp; The Ameena Gafoor Institute.

????? ??????????: ??? ?????? ?????
??????????: ??? ?????? ????? is a short documentary made by CARIMAC students ????? ?????, ???? ?????, ????? ??????, and ?????? ??????????? that traces the roots of the Rodney Riots, exploring the political climate of Jamaica in 1968, the life and character of Walter Rodney, and his catalytic role in the student-led uprising. Using archival footage and first-hand voices, the documentary explores how the confrontation exposed fault lines of class, race, and identity in a newly independent nation, and asks what the Rodney Riots reveal about the enduring struggle for free speech, the policing of ideas, and the power of grassroots resistance in Jamaica, the Caribbean, and beyond.
