Malcolm X (1972 film)

MalcolmX, also known as MalcolmX His Own Story as It Really Happened, is a 1972 American documentary film directed by Arnold Perl. It is based on The Autobiography of MalcolmX. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

For Warner Bros. to make a documentary about MalcolmX seems about as likely as for the D.A.R. to sponsor the Peking Ballet. That the film should come from such a source is the first surprise. The second is that it is gooda fair forum for Malcolms fundamental ideas and an exceptional visual chronicle of how those ideas took shape.In his review for The New York Times, Howard Thompson described it as a generally rounded, often fascinating movie. Thompson also wrote that the film was surprisingly balanced. ........
