Malcolm X

Join us for our "Shout Louder!" limited series, where we will screen the best films that aren’t afraid to wear their beliefs on their sleeves and engage in political themes, because film is political.

This is a passionate monument to a man whose life continues to serve as a model of principled resistance.

One of the most electrifying heroes of the twentieth century receives an appropriately sweeping screen biopic, rich in both historical insight and propulsive cinematic style, courtesy of visionary director Spike Lee. Built around an extraordinary performance from Denzel Washington, "Malcolm X" draws on the iconic civil rights leader’s autobiography to trace his journey of empowerment, from a childhood riven by white-supremacist violence to a life of petty crime to his conversion to Islam and rebirth as a fearless fighter for Black liberation, whose courage and eloquence inspired oppressed communities the world over.
