The Terror and The Time: Notes on Repressive Violence in Guyana (72min)

The Terror is British colonialism and cold war imperialism.

The Time is 1953.

Part One of The Terror and the Time is the story of the Guyanese people's fight for independence and self-determination. The film-makers found it necessary to investigate the historical background of neo-colonial conditions in Guyana. Understanding the complexity and duration of colonialist domination is a crucial step towards understanding the present situation. The heavy-handed repressions — military invasion, years under a state of emergency — has long been present and will finally be opened up for the scrutiny of the rest of the world.

But this film also documents the more insidious forms of everyday economic and cultural repression used throughout colonialism's long history — the impoverishment of the working people, feudal labor conditions and social relationships, and the government's stranglehold on the press and the media.

The 'script' of the film centers around nine poems from Martin Carter's Poems of Resistance, written in Guyana in 1953. The poems are divided into three sections separated by historical periods and by interviews. The film attempts to relate the poetry to cultural production. As a cultural product, the poetry is a vigorous part of the fight for independence, providing "wider perspectives of reality" enriching the struggle with "ideological nourishment."
