The Price of Memory traces the unfinished reckoning between Britain and the Caribbean over slavery and empire, moving between descendants, artists and elders who carry inherited trauma. Mafundikwa braids personal testimony with archival material to ask what memory costs a people — and what it costs a nation to forget. The result is a quiet, insistent act of reparative storytelling that refuses closure.
