"What does it profit a man to be Prime Minister of Barbados or of the West Indies? What does it mean? It means nothing if you lose your soul and achieve those objectives." - Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow The passionate docu-drama illuminating the courage of one man who relentlessly preached a gospel of economic self-reliance and self-respect to the people of Barbados, his native country, and beyond. He defied the status quo, confronted racism and classicism, fought colonial oppression and selflessly led his people to political and economic freedom. A hero lives for the other...that was The Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, Father of Independence, Reformer, National Hero of Barbados. (Pan African Film Festival)
