A person's greatness can often be measured by the calibre of the writers who document their deeds. Ali had George Plimpton and Norman Mailer waxing lyrical about him in a movie that took 22 years to complete. Watching Ali in When We Were Kings is like watching a God among men. Ali can have great men talk about him but to see him at his best leaves most men speechless.
This is a truly gripping documentary about the life of Ali leading up to the now lengendary "Rumble in the Jungle" with George Forman.
The film is fascinating and also sad, as we see the champ in his hayday where he had all the athletic genius, rage and grace. Never has the world of Boxing had such an iconic figure that stood up against the Vietnam war, and segrigation. It's all here on this brilliant movie to understand why Ali will go down in history as sometimes the most loved, reviled, and contversial international sports hero's of our time.
This movie scores a knockout!

One of my favorite documentaries, a brilliant look at Ali and the whole atmosphere around the fight between him and Foreman in Africa. The name of the movie actually gives the right idea of what this documentary is all about. Highly recommended even if you are not a boxing fan. But beware, there are not really any extras in this dvd, especially those "production notes" that they advertise.
This is a brilliant movie about a great man, its very well made and definetly captures the raw emotions of the event. A must see for fans of Ali, boxing or good filmmaking.
