Harlem, 1960. The Hotel Theresa becomes an unexpected site of political intrigue and surveillance when activist Malcolm X invites Fidel Castro to stay there, among the people, ahead of his imperative UN address. Starring a stellar ensemble cast featuring Al Pacino, competing bumbling government factions, motivated assassins, and even the Mafia, look for any opportunity to eliminate this man and diminish his growing movement. As the stakes get higher, it becomes increasingly clear: one person can make the difference in a resistance, and history.
