Often hailed as one of Denzel Washington’s finest performances - and that is a high bar - Malcolm X holds the distinction of bringing together a number of African-American cultural icons.

We revisit the movie, and discuss how it, in many ways, went on to define Malcolm X for a whole new generation.
