The first film of its kind, \u003ci\u003eDeath of a Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e is a lasting testament to Malcolm X's message of brotherhood and equality.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eDeath of a Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e  stars Morgan Freeman as Malcolm X, with Yolanda King as Betty Shabazz.
