Back in high school, I had read the Autobiography of Malcolm X and remember having a certain impression. He was a radical, an extremist, a racist.
I thought the Spike Lee movie about Malcolm X did a fair job of changing my impression.
It provided context without being overly biased. It enriched my understanding of the Black struggles of the '60's. I like how it explored some of the black on black issues and how those played a factor as well.
It's a two-disc set (and took me 3 nights to watch), but the story was engrossing and well worth it.
