The Language of Violence | Cush Jumbo | Figures of Speech

Cush Jumbo reads The Language of Violence, one of the final speeches by Malcolm X in 1965. This speech was in response to a firebombing at his home the evening before. He, his pregnant wife and four daughters survive. No one is charged with any crime.

At a time of political turmoil, unprecedented world events and an increasingly divided society, what does inspiring leadership sound like?

Figures of Speech, a major new digital film project for 2017, will interrogate the vitality of speech to remember.

Made in collaboration with the Almeida Theatre.
