About this movie

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--combines speeches, newsreels and film clips provided by friends and acquaintances.

Ratings and reviews

This is X the Malcom X movie that Spike Lee did it was not a documentary as described. It would be nice to see something more then has already been popularized.

Amazing film... Not a documentary in the usual sense of explaining every detail to the viewer, but rather it carries the viewer along to FEEL the events as they happened. It was impossible to keep the tears from rolling at the end. Bless everyone involved in the creation of this film.

Racist.
