Who Killed Malcolm X is one of the illest Netflix documentaries to come along in a while.

0:20.7

You already know how important Malcolm is and how inspirational he is.

0:25.2

I love to hear him speak from the stage and bring that fire.

0:28.5

This doc goes into all of that, but also into the detective story around who killed Malcolm

0:34.2

because he was murdered by three gunmen who shot at him at the

0:38.4

Audubon Ballroom in Harlem as he was speaking shot him right in front of his wife and his

0:43.7

four young daughters. We know who shot him. We know that the main trigger man did not get caught

1:40.9

We got two episodes a week for you now, including a Friday Patreon exclusive for our Patreon supporters.

1:47.2

For that, go to patreon.com slash Toray Show. For now, it's the two directors of Who Killed Malcolm X on Netflix,

1:54.1

Rachel Dretzen and Phil Bertelsson on Toray Show. There are so many things in this documentary that blew me away.

2:05.1

And perhaps Malcolm's closest bodyguard was an NYPD plant.

2:17.9

That alone.

2:19.9

Plus, he was standing right next to Malcolm when he was assassinated, which means he probably

2:27.7

knew who actually pulled the trigger, because I assume William Bradley was closest to Malcolm.
