51 minutes
Tha an t-sreath seo, Aghaidh ri Aghaidh a' dèanamh coimeas eadar dithis air a bheil sinn uile eòlach, a' sealltainn a' chòmhstri a bh' eatorra agus mar a thug seo buaidh air ar beatha làitheil. Bho chionn còrr agus ceathrad bliadhna an dèidh am bàis, tha Martin Luther King agus Malcolm X fhathast aithnichte mar na ceannaircich poilitigeach as ainmeile san t-saoghal.
As dèidh dà dhuais Sìth Nobel a chosnadh ann an 1964, bha Martin Luther King ainmeil mar thosgaire airson iomairt chòraichean catharra Ameireagaidh. Aig an aon àm, bha Malcolm X aithnichte ann an Afraga far an robh cinn-stàite uile airson coinneachadh ris. Bha na h-amasan aig gach fear gu tur eadar- healaichte: dà charactar, feallsanachd agus amas eadar-dhealaichte airson Ameireagaidh. Tha am prògram seo a' leantainn sgeulachdan am beatha agus mar a dh' atharraich iad eachdraidh an t-saoghail.
Face to Face is a series of comparative portraits featuring two well-known figures, seen through the prism of their rivalry. The scale and scope of their contention went far beyond mere personal antagonism; the results of their confrontation have often changed society and deeply impacted our lives.
More than 40 years after their deaths, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X remain two of the world's most famous political activists. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1964, Martin Luther King was the world-renowned symbol of the American Civil Rights movement. At the same time, Malcolm X was revered as an icon in Africa, where heads of state lined up to receive him. They embody two very different dreams: two characters, two philosophies and visions for America. This programme follows their life stories and how their vision changed history. Show less
