Watch our independent film: Message to the People A Story of Malcolm X available Here: https://www.melaneyesmedia.com/

Message to the People: A Story of MALCOLM X is a historical dramatization of the life and words of, Malcolm X. This one-hour movie which portrays his image and presents his words as performed by Baba Aundar, is based on the theatrical play which bears the same name.

This film introduces us to the great legacy of a cultural Icon: Malcolm X also known as El Hajj Malik El Shabazz. It shows the life journey and powerful transformation of Malcolm Little to Malcolm X; spanning his childhood in Omaha, NE to adulthood as the National Spokesperson for the Nation Of Islam and founder of the Muslim Mosque Incorporated. Message to the People shows the evolution of the man himself. It sheds light on his upbringing, his travels to the Middle East and Africa while emphasizing his commitment to Black pride, self reliance, human rights and the liberation of African peoples all over the globe.

An International figure, Malcolm’s message of Black Nationalism challenged and shifted the views of many people around the world. There can be an argument made that his views and social commentary are more relevant now than ever. To hear Malcolm in the film speak about the disproportionate number of African Americans locked up in prison, the “House Negro” mentality, and the black struggle for human rights, only reaffirms that many things have changed since the Civil Right’s movement; while other issues that have plagued our society have remained the same.

The views of Malcolm expressed in the film, challenge the notion that integration was the best solution for Black Americans. A story of Malcolm X encourages viewers to take a look in the mirror and ask hard questions about the choices we make as individuals as well as a community. One of our goals with this film is to provoke dialogue and spark conversation amongst those who see it. With so many culturally conscious movies and documentaries by black film makers exploding onto the marketplace, we want to take the torch and fuel to the fire of knowledge and awareness! True conversation and dialogue will help our community to heal and begin to implement solutions for positive change, socially, culturally, economically and psychologically and we want Message to the People to be one of the catalysts for this growth and healing.

We want you to see this film and get a better understanding of Malcolm X, the man. Know that he was more than the picture of him gazing out the window armed with an assault rifle bolstering “By any means necessary.” He was a complex individual, with strong opinions, a passionate and eloquent speaker who devoted his life to uplifting his people. Malcolm was a son, a father, a husband, a teacher, a statesman, a visionary, he was the voice of a people.
