Malcolm x: Make it plain (Documentary)

 
MALCOLM X : MAKE IT PLAIN
 

 
"An engaging and subtly detailed portrait."
-- Newsweek
 
"A first-rate piece of journalism."
-- Entertainment Weekly

  Political  philosopher and visionary, husband and father, dynamic orator and  militant minister. In his lifetime, Malcolm X was many men. Born Malcolm  Little, he later became "Detroit Red" and "New York Red" -- a hustler,  drug pusher, pimp, con man and the head of a Boston robbery ring. After  spending time in prison, he emerged as Minister Malcolm -- Malcolm X,  the fiery, eloquent spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Finally, he  became El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, an internationally recognized leader  and advocate for oppressed peoples. He was both loved and despised,  revered and feared-- until an assassin's bullet cut him down at age 39.
 
American Experience marks the 40th anniversary of his death with  "Malcolm X --- Make It Plain." This in-depth film portrait goes straight  to the heart, mind and message of one of the modern era's most complex  figures. Actress Alfre Woodard narrates the special.
 
This film chronicles Malcolm X's remarkable journey from his birth on  May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, to his assassination at the Audubon  Ballroom in New York City on February 21, 1965. His compelling story is  told through the memories of people who had close personal and working  relationships with him: prominent figures such as Maya Angelou, Ossie  Davis and Alex Haley; Nation of Islam associates, including Wallace D.  Muhammad, the son of Elijah Muhammad; and family members, including his  wife, Betty Shabazz, and his oldest daughter, Attallah Shabazz. Included  is extensive archival footage of Malcolm X, speaking in his own words  at meetings and rallies, and in media interviews.
 
At a time when black civil rights leaders preached harmony and  integration, Malcolm preached a militant gospel of self-defense and  nationalism that terrified many whites and disturbed, yet also inspired,  black Americans. After his travels to Kmt and Mecca, he returned  with a deeper understanding of Islam and a new willingness to accept  white allies. "The white man and the black man have to be able to sit  down at the same table," he said in his last year. "Then they can bring  the issues that are under the rug out on top of the table and take an  intelligent approach to getting the problem solved."
 
In 1965, under attack from the Nation of Islam and under surveillance by  the FBI, Malcolm X was assassinated while delivering a speech. Who  killed him and why remains a mystery to this day, 40 years after his  assassination.
