As d猫idh d脿 dhuais S矛th Nobel a chosnadh ann an 1964, bha Martin Luther King ainmeil mar thosgaire airson iomairt ch貌raichean catharra Ameireagaidh. Aig an aon 脿m, bha Malcolm X aithnichte ann an Afraga far an robh cinn-st脿ite uile airson coinneachadh ris. Bha na h-amasan aig gach fear gu tur eadar- healaichte: d脿 charactar, feallsanachd agus amas eadar-dhealaichte airson Ameireagaidh.

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.
