The Terror is British colonialism and Cold War imperialism. The Time is 1953. THE TERROR AND THE TIME tells the story of the Guyanese people’s fight for independence and self-determination, investigating the historical background of neocolonial conditions. The film also documents insidious forms of everyday economic and cultural repression: the impoverishment of working people, feudal labor conditions, and the government’s stranglehold on the press. Centered on nine of Martin Carter’s “Poems of Resistance,” it positions poetry as a vigorous part of the fight for independence.
