Having worked in Hollywood as a stunt man and coordinator for over forty years, accumulating more than 500 production film credits, in the 2010s Roy T. Anderson decided to bring more underrepresented stories to the big screen through his production company Action 4 Reel Flimworks. He became the writer, director and producer of two award-winning documentaries about the Jamaican Maroons, Akwantu: The Journey (2012) and Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess (2015). Then, while continuing his stunt work (earlier this year he served as the stunt double for Morgan Freeman in A Good Person), about five years ago Anderson embarked on the production of African Redemption, a docu-drama on the life of Jamaican, pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey: ‘Like my two previous films about the Maroons, my third film is another labor of love, with an aim towards completing a trilogy and documenting the resistance history of African-descended people in the Americas.’
