James Earl Jones narrates this documentary on the incredible and controversial life of Malcolm X. His father, a vocal activist and minister was killed when Malcolm was very young. Still, Malcolm didn't become interested in the struggle for civil rights until after he served time in prison for burglary. The study of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammed led him to become an outspoken and scholarly leader in the struggle for civil rights. The film is based on X's own autobiography which he penned with Alex Haley. Made after the assassination of the Muslim leader, it also includes an inquiry into his death as well as a eulogy given by Davis. This historic work was an important early non-fiction film about the African-American experience and an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature in 1972.
Review from filesoup.co.uk
A truly well crafted documentary where excerpts from Malcolm X's autobiography and footage of his speeches drive the narrative. This is about as close to capturing the spirit of Malcolm X as well as the cultural climate in which he operated as you can get. There is no obtrusive narrator or newsperson offering up their slanted view of Malcolm X here. Archival footage is used to flesh out the scenes Malcolm X desribes in his autobiography, from his childhood to Boston, Harlem, Birmingham, and Mecca. There are also numerous vintage interviews with with Betty Shabazz, Elijah Muhammad,Philbert X, Ella Collins Little, James Farmer and many others. From the opening of the film with Billy Holiday's STRANGE FRUIT to Ossie Davis' eulogy, this is truly the film to watch if you want to see Malcolm X's incredible journey to becoming El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz and the impact he made upon America and the world.
