Synopsis

During Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee visit to Jamaica, a small group of Rastafari people petition her for slavery reparations. For them, reparations are tied to a longing to return to Africa, the ancestral homeland of those enslaved in Jamaica by the British. The film follows this petition and a subsequent lawsuit against the Queen. It also examines earlier Rastafari efforts for reparations in the 1960s, including a historic mission to Africa aimed at organizing official repatriation. The film explores Britain's wealth derived from slavery and its lasting impact on independent Jamaica, as the filmmaker documents the reparations debate reaching Parliament in both Jamaica and the UK. Filmed over ten years, *The Price of Memory* is a powerful look at the enduring consequences of slavery and the argument for reparations.
