Marcus Garvey on screen

Colin Grant’s biography Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey inspires film

Amazon Studios has set Winston Duke (Black Panther) to star as Marcus Garvey in Marked Man. Garvey was a political activist who was a key figure of Black nationalism in the 20th century. Andrew Dosunmu will direct the drama, and Jesse Williams (Little Fires Everywhere) and DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It) are in talks to star. The film is inspired by Colin Grant’s biography, Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey. The script, by the playwright and Young Vic theatre director, Kwame Kwei-Armah, was developed with the producer, Esther Douglas and the support of the BFI Film Fund.
