How ganja and Hess relate to malcolm x
The movie has some similarities to Malcolm x with religion because Malcolm x became religious while in prison and converted to Islam. Malcolm joined the Nation of Islam and began to fight for the rights of African Americans through movements and tv. In Ganja and Hess,Hess doesn't want to have the addiction to blood and goes to a church. This experience changed him and he followed the steps of his assistant mida when he killed him self by standing under a cross. There are also some concepts in the movie were you see mida drunk on a tree with a noose attempting to take his life. In malcolm Xs time African Americans were lyniched by mobs and it could be a symbol to those times.
