Malcolm X (1992) Netflix UK
Spike Lee’s Malcolm X is a sweeping biographical drama that follows the turbulent life of Malcolm Little—later El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz—from his difficult childhood through his rise as one of the most magnetic and controversial figures of the Black liberation movement. Denzel Washington delivers a searing, Oscar‑recognized performance as a man who moves from petty crime to a prison conversion, becoming a leading voice in the Nation of Islam and a forceful advocate for Black pride and self-determination.
The film traces Malcolm’s personal and ideological evolution—his marriage to Betty Shabazz (played by Angela Bassett), his pilgrimage to Mecca and subsequent shift in outlook, and the growing conflicts that shadow his public career. Shot with bold visual energy, the movie culminates in his 1965 assassination at the Audubon Ballroom and reflects on the complex, enduring impact of his life and teachings.
