If it at least could bring justice for those who were wrongly convicted and clear them, it worth to be praised
There's no room for lazy opinions in the review section. The research put into this documentary is overwhelmingly exceptional. I can rest easily that I now know without a doubt who killed malcolm x. I watched all 6 hours in one sitting because the story is that compelling. NYPD is to blame for convicting two innocent young men and locking them away for 20 years. The FBI also withheld evidence of their personal investigation of the true murderers from the NYPD. It's terribly frustrating that you have so much testimony and tangible evidence that confirms so many responsible parties involved and their motives to kill a legendary American figure, and viewers still sit at home in ignorence. This is a 10 star film.
This documentary is deeply personal to me which is why I was very apprehensive about watching it. In this day and age in which people are trying to create a name for themselves by doing these posthumous documentaries revealing embarrassing or damning things that are largely uncorroborated, I didn't care to see Malcolm X be a victim of the same slanderous type of work. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the documentary "Who Killed Malcolm X" stuck very rigidly to the issue of who killed Malcolm X without trying to find some hidden flaws in Malcolm that could be exposed for public consumption.
My parents were part of the NOI and I consider Malcolm X a personal hero. He was killed over a decade before I was born, but I still gravitated to his words. His assassination, like many other assassinations, has always been a cloudy issue and everyone had their opinion. This documentary by Netflix in which Abdurrahman Muhammad is the biggest piece due to his diligent research is the best work I've ever seen or heard dealing with who truly killed Malcolm X. Abdurrahman dedicated the majority of his life to unearthing evidence pointing to the real killers. For those who have little to no knowledge of Malcolm's life and death, this documentary will provide many eye-opening details. And even for those who have moderate to heavy knowledge of Malcolm's life and death, this documentary will still provide some bombshells.
I appreciate this documentary because even though Malcolm has been dead for 55 years TOMORROW, the truth should still be known.

Another outstanding documentary by Netflix that is hard to quit once you've started watching it. If you like history then you will find this to be truly amazing.
Everybody knew about the Nation of Islam (NoI) organization's involvement in Malcolm X's murder, and this series again puts them in a Microscope. And rightfully so considering what they had done to one of the US' greatest Black American Political figures.
Apparently the American Law Enforcement Agencies were only too happy to have a controversial personality like Malcolm killed by his own fellow Black Americans so they made sure that most of those behind his killing got away with it.
The series also goes out and names the assassin whose weapon directly caused Malcolm's death, apparently his identity has been an open secret among New Jersey's Black Muslim Community and yet they protected him and even allowed him to have a full, satisfying life, compete with a hero's burial.
My only issue with it is that for some reason, it seems they had allowed Malcolm's assassin to die before they released the documentary. They tried to show otherwise, but I felt it was intentional, for one reason or another.
Anyway, a Must-See Documentary for me.

This was a well put together documentary for those versed on the subject and those looking to learn more about this important point in history. It's informative, well paced and sticks to the "need to know" rather than being chocked full of filler. What I didn't enjoy (by no fault at all of the makers of this documentary) is all the dodging, shoulder shrugging and flat out excuse making for Malcolm's true assailant. Two innocent men did a combined 40+ years of prison time for a crime they didn't commit, and everybody and I mean EVERYBODY from a senator to the random person on the street basically said "so what" when confronted about who the actual killer was. It was truly infuriating to see so many people be so indifferent about someone committing such a heinous crime and never having to pay the price for it.
As infuriating as all that was, I did still really enjoy this documentary. I'm a student of history so this was right up my alley. If you have a few hours to spare, give it a look. It's definitely time well spent.
