Filmed over a decade, The Price of Memory follows a group of Rastafari who petitioned Queen Elizabeth II for slavery reparations on her last visit to Jamaica, and the lawsuit that followed. The film interweaves the impact of the legacy of slavery on independent Jamaica. Illustrated are travels across the United Kingdom, an exploration of England’s legacy of slavery as well as the British Royal Family’s own history with forced servitude.
The Price of Memory features appearances by Queen Elizabeth II, Ras Lion, attorney Michael Lorne, reparations advocate Barbara Blake Hannah, as well as Rastafari elders Sam Clayton, Filmore Alvaranga, O.D. and Douglas Mack.
