Synopsis

Often misunderstood, Malcolm X was one of the leading forces of the United States' Civil Rights Movement. He inspired many - and frightened many - but is destined to be remembered as one of the greatest men of his era.

This riveting biography - based on The Autobiography of Malcolm X and filmed shortly after his assassination while the passions of the Movement still burned- - ombines speeches, newsreels and film clips provided by friends and acquaintances.

Malcolm X, a 1972 documentary, is like the man himself great, extraordinary, tragic, and in the end triumphant. This documentary is excellent reference material for anyone who has read his autobiography or has seen Spike Lee's 1992 film of the same name. I often compare this documentary to another gem Martin Luther King: From Montgomery To Memphis (1970).The producers of Malcolm X allows the man through a montage of footage of his speeches, voice overs, and occasional narration by James Earl Jones and an appearance by Louis Farrakhan formerly known as Louis X to speak for himself. The producers of this film knew not to include people whom would give many opinions of Malcolm X, therefore compromising an understandable portrait of the man. This style of documenting ones life is rarely seen today, but needs to return.
