Synopsis:

James Baldwin's screenplay based on Alex Haley's now classic The Autobiography Of Malcolm X makes immediate and terrfyingly real the stunning events that gave birth to a forceful, determined man . . . and created the atmosphere of hate that ultimately murdered him.  Juxtaposing eloquence and violence, the highest of human ideals with the basest of human violence, this rare screenplay recreates Malcolm X as a symbol for his times . . . and as a flesh and blood black man who feels, loves, hates, and forgives through a life torn by pain, healed by faith, and finally ended by the bullets from a black brother's gun.

Review: " Sharp.... Precise.... There is no questioning the depth and sincerity of Baldwin's admiration for Malcolm X." -- "The Times Literary Supplement"
" A work energetically and demotically written."
-- "The New Statesman"
