Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali

I really enjoyed this. I just wish it had been longer and with even more details.

Both Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X are inspiring figures. Ali is like a sports jock with the muscles to push the ideas forward, and Malcolm is a true intellectual who was the first to question Elijah's authority. What a hero Malcolm is to pay for his life knowing the risk he was under for criticising the fervour of the Black Muslims' devotion to false messenger Elijah. There was a review blaming religion. No, the problem was the cult of Nation of Islam. The religion of Islam actually enlightened Malcolm X to treat all people, white or black, as equal in brotherhood despite his previous experiences of being marginalised as a black man in America. Religion is what inspired Malcolm to fight for higher ideals of justice and truth, rather than the usual pursuits that people like to go after of money, fame and accolade. He risked his life for what he believed in.

Appreciating the true revolutionaries of the past helps to put the present situation into perspective. More like this please Netflix..
