Who Killed Malcolm X?

As mentioned in other reviews, not nearly enough content for 6 episodes - a baffling recurrent trait of Netflix doc series. Also (although it's arguably not relevant), doesn't even mention the very odd beginnings of the NOI, which are probably worthy of an investigative doc on themselves - Who Was Wallace Muhammad!?

I am a fan of Netflix documentaries, particularly the criminal/true crime ones. However, more recently, these productions are becoming less interesting, not because of the content but due to the overextension, boring details and repetition of material.

In this case, Who Killed Malcom X starts with a good episode, intended to familiarize anyone who doesn't know the case and everything that led to it (I am one of them). The problem is on episodes 2, 3 and 4 where there is too much repetition of scenes, information and details already mentioned in the first episode. In my opinion, these episodes are completely unnecessary and they can be easily skipped.

This is something that upsets me because I imagine lots of people giving up on this documentary (and even in future ones) by episode 3. If Netflix wants to convince more people to watch this kind of content, they need to make it more attractive.

Anyway, episodes 5 and 6 are very interesting and in my opinion, make this series a 7/10.

Another outstanding documentary by Netflix that is hard to quit once you've started watching it. If you like history then you will find this to be truly amazing.

Everybody knew about the Nation of Islam (NoI) organization's involvement in Malcolm X's murder, and this series again puts them in a Microscope. And rightfully so considering what they had done to one of the US' greatest Black American Political figures.

Apparently the American Law Enforcement Agencies were only too happy to have a controversial personality like Malcolm killed by his own fellow Black Americans so they made sure that most of those behind his killing got away with it.

The series also goes out and names the assassin whose weapon directly caused Malcolm's death, apparently his identity has been an open secret among New Jersey's Black Muslim Community and yet they protected him and even allowed him to have a full, satisfying life, compete with a hero's burial.

My only issue with it is that for some reason, it seems they had allowed Malcolm's assassin to die before they released the documentary. They tried to show otherwise, but I felt it was intentional, for one reason or another.

Anyway, a Must-See Documentary for me.

If it at least could bring justice for those who were wrongly convicted and clear them, it worth to be praised

There's no room for lazy opinions in the review section. The research put into this documentary is overwhelmingly exceptional. I can rest easily that I now know without a doubt who killed malcolm x. I watched all 6 hours in one sitting because the story is that compelling. NYPD is to blame for convicting two innocent young men and locking them away for 20 years. The FBI also withheld evidence of their personal investigation of the true murderers from the NYPD. It's terribly frustrating that you have so much testimony and tangible evidence that confirms so many responsible parties involved and their motives to kill a legendary American figure, and viewers still sit at home in ignorence. This is a 10 star film.
