If it at least could bring justice for those who were wrongly convicted and clear them, it worth to be praised
A really well put together documentary. Great interviews and archived footage. The filmmakers present the information in a clear linear way. Just such a shame that guy died before they could ask him face to face!
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.
One thing is clear from this documentary and its that people know who did it and have chosen to turn a blind eye to it. Be it loyalty or not wanting to become targets themselves but they know and by not assisting they are obstructing justice. People of faith complicit in allowing murderers to walk free and letting two innocent men suffer in jail. Alot of information and footage I'd never seen before that offers a unique look into the rise and fall of Malcolm X. The corruption and profiteering of the upper levels of the nation of islam movement and the hypocrisy of its leader. It's been announced the investigation has been reopened as a result of this documentary and i hope some more clarity and justice can come from it. Informative, well researched and eye-opening. A very immersive watch whatever your knowledge of Malcolm and the circumstances surrounding his death.
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.
