To many sports fans the greatest ever boxer dominating the heavyweight championship for 20 years but Ali was more than just a boxer. He vehemently objected to the US involvement in Vietnam and was the strongest voice in support of Black rights.

These ingredients make for a fascinating portrayal of undoubtedly one of the most important figures of the twentieth century.
