Who Killed Malcolm X? is a 2020 documentary miniseries directed by Rachel Dretzin and Phil Bertelsen. Produced by Fusion, the series began streaming on Netflix on February 7, 2020.[1][2][3]
The documentary follows the work of Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a historian and tour guide in Washington, D.C., who for more than 30 years has been investigating the assassination of Malcolm X.[1][4] In the documentary, convicted assassin Talmadge Hayer states that his four co-conspirators were Benjamin Thomas, Leon Davis, William X, and a man by the name of Wilbur or Kinly, all from the Nation of Islam mosque in Newark. Following the release of the miniseries, the Manhattan district attorney announced that the district attorney’s office will begin a preliminary review of the investigation into Malcolm X's murder in order to decide whether the case should be reopened.[5]
