He arrived in America with nothing but words.
Four years later he had six million people.
Eight years later the US government deported him.
This is the full story they never told you.
Marcus Mosiah Garvey was Jamaica’s first National Hero and the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association — the largest Black empowerment movement of the twentieth century. He built it from a soapbox on a Harlem street corner. He built a shipping company. A newspaper reaching 200,000 readers weekly. Chapters in 40 countries. And then the most powerful government on earth decided he had to go. Wikipedia
In his short life Marcus Mosiah Garvey would become the world’s foremost Pan-Africanist and in some eyes the most significant mass leader of the 20th century. He is widely seen as a forerunner to America’s civil rights movement. Malcolm X’s father was one of his organisers. Kwame Nkrumah studied his writings before leading Ghanaian independence. Nelson Mandela drew from his philosophy. Bob Marley quoted him directly in Redemption Song. Wikipedia
He died alone in London in 1940. Broke. Banned from America. Never having set foot in Africa. The man who organised six million people died as a private citizen in a foreign city.
This documentary tells the complete story — the origin, the rise, the philosophy, the persecution and the legacy that outlasted everything done to silence him.
