Based on Alex Haley’s bestselling classic The
Autobiography of Malcolm X, a rare, lucidly composed
screenplay from one of America’s great masters of
letters.
Son of a Baptist minister; New York City
hustler; honor student; convicted criminal; powerful
minister in the Nation of Islam; father and husband: Malcolm
X transformed himself, time and again, in order to become
one of the most feared, loved, and undeniably charismatic
leaders of twentieth-century America. No one better
represents the tumultuous times of his generation, and there
is no one better to capture him and his milieu than James
Baldwin. With spare, elegant, yet forceful dialogue and
fresh, precise camera directions, Baldwin breathes cinematic
life into this controversial and important figure, offering
a new look at a man who changed himself in order to change
the country.
