In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'Who Killed Malcolm X?' offers a modern, mostly one-sided lens on race and justice, emphasizing identity themes and challenging cultural institutions in a way that leans heavily toward contemporary woke ideology. Traditional perspectives barely get a look in.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The documentary focuses intensely on race, injustice, and systemic oppression, which some may view as emphasizing identity over nuance in individual character arcs. However, it remains a historical investigation rather than an overt fictional narrative, so the integrity is somewhat intact but heavily filtered through a modern activist lens.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series scrutinizes institutions and invites skepticism toward traditional authorities (the government, law enforcement, and organized religion). It presents mainstream culture as complicit in historical wrongs, with little deference for their roles, so it definitely challenges cultural foundations from a non-woke perspective.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, especially those not aligned with modern progressive narratives, are scarcely explored or represented with sympathy. The story frames dissenting voices primarily as either complicit or misguided, so there’s a definite slant toward ideological conformity.
