A fine work of documentary historical research and cinematic story-telling: Who Killed Malcolm X?

The Rachel Dretzin-Phil Bertelsen 2020 Netflix documentary, Who Killed Malcolm X?, is a terrific, taut account of the 1965 assassination of the  black leader, the shoddy if not corrupt NY police investigation of the killings, the imprisonment for 20 years of 2 men who had nothing to do w/ the killings, and the suspicious indifference of the police and the FBI regarding the most likely assassin. The film is based entirely on the investigation of an interested and committed citizen, Abdur-Rahman Muhammad (a Providence guy, BTW), who through his meticulous research over many years even decades has brought to light the injustice of the murder investigation and its aftermath. Overall, the film does a great job establishing through much historical footage the importance, bravery, and brilliance of Malcolm X, the corrupt practices of the Nation of Islam, Malcolm's gradual estrangement from the nation, and the power of his message and of the Islam religion and culture in the black community - specifically, the Newark mosque which was the home base of several of the accused assassins. It's hard to imagine today how powerful and important that movement was in the 1960s and how the rise of black Nationalism terrified the white establishment; obviously the movement today is not what it was two generations ago, but it does appear that there is still a thriving black Muslim community in Newark - though it's not clear if younger generations are keeping the movement alive. I'm purposely not divulging the results of A-RM's investigations except to say that there are surprises - and roadblocks - at many points throughout the 6-episode series. All told, this is a fine work of historical research and contemporary cinematic story-telling, especially of interested to those interested in black social-justice movements and to those (like me) who know or used to know a lot about Newark.
