The Trials of Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay, a brazen boxer, entered the American psyche in the early 1960s, just before of the Civil Rights movement. His metamorphosis into the spiritually enlightened heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali is renowned, but this religious epiphany also resulted in a protracted legal struggle with the United States government over his refusal to participate in the Vietnam War. This documentary reveals the perfect confluence of race, religion, and politics that formed one of sports history's most famous individuals.
