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. Besides starring Washington, the 1992 film is directed by Spike Lee, and of course centres around the life and struggles of African-American activist Malcolm X. We revisit the movie, and discuss how it, in many ways, went on to define Malcolm X for a whole new generation.
