Film7.6DramTarihAmerikan tarihinin en önemli insan hakları savunucularından ve siyahi liderlerinden biri olan Malcolm X’in hayatı, Spike Lee’nin yaratıcı bakış açısı ile beyazperdeye aktarılıyor. Daha önce Broadway’de tarihi lideri canlandırmış olan Denzel Washington’un dikkate değer oyunculuğu ile Malcolm X’in hikayesi sıradan bir biyografi olmaktan çok, bir insanın hayatında devrim yapıp kendini gerçekleştirmesi şeklinde, dönemlere bölünerek anlatılmış:Babası Ku Klux Klan tarafından öldürülen Malcolm, çağdaşı bir çok zenci gibi umutsuz ve zor bir çocukluk geçirir. Neticesinde hayatı günlük yaşayan hedonist bir hırsıza dönüşür. Sonunda hapise girdiğinde İslam öğretisi kendisini yeniden tanımlamasına yardımcı olur. Burada dahil olduğu toplulukta kendini bulur ve yükselmeye başlar. Hapisten çıkınca Malcolm, adeta bir mesih işlevi yüklenir ve kendilerini birer suçlu yapan toplumsal adaletsizliğe başkaldırır.

Film10.0BelgeselThe Black Audio Film Collective’s seventh film envisioned the death and life of the African American revolutionary as a seven part study in iconography as narrated by novelist Toni Cade Bambara and actor Giancarlo Espesito. The stylized tableaux vivants that memorialise Malcolm’s life referenced the early 20th century funeral photography of James Van der Zee’s The Harlem Book of the Dead and the elemental static cinematography of Sergei Paradjanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates.

Film6.5BelgeselThe title of this Canadian documentary may have some relation to Canadian Marshall McLuhan's theories. It combines interview with famous U.S. militants of the '60s, such as Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, with reenactments of their Chicago trials (i.e., the "Chicago Eight," etc.). Other figures of cultural interest from the time, including Alan Ginsberg and Buckminster Fuller, are interviewed or featured. The filmmaker indicates his belief that powerful forces in the U.S. government worked together to suppress American radicals. This view, widely disbelieved at the time, has since been confirmed.
