Malcolm X

Malcolm X

1992

Director Spike Lee's Oscar-nominated drama illuminates the life of civil rights leader Malcolm X (Denzel Washington), following him from his early days as a prison-bound gangster to his conversion to Islam, marriage to Betty Shabazz (Angela Bassett) and discovery of the Nation of Islam writings of Elijah Mohammad (Al Freeman Jr.). When Malcolm turns his back on the Nation of Islam (following a pilgrimage to Mecca), he becomes a murder target.

Scholar. Convict. Leader. Disciple. Hipster. Father. Hustler. Minister. Black man. Every man.
