In Week 3, we watch two documentaries on Malcolm X. The first is Malcolm X: Make It Plain, directed by Orlando Bagwell and produced by PBS in 1994. The second is Malcolm X, directed by Arnold Perl and produced by Warner Brothers in 1972. In 400-600 words, you will write a comparative analysis that puts these two films into conversation with one another. The paper requires you take a stand with the goal of persuading a more general public of your point of view. The short piece should be informed by the readings and lectures from the beginning of the course, but especially by Sohail Daulatzai’s chapter assigned that week. The piece also needs to engage not only the content of the documentaries, but also the styles in which they are presented.
