About Muhammad Ali by Ken Burns

Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Clay, was a three-time heavyweight boxing champion who was as charismatic as he was deadly in the ring. His furious fists were matched only by his cutting tongue, making him a particularly dangerous individual who could outfight and outtalk anyone who dared to cross him. He also controversially sacrificed a chunk of his career by refusing to fight in the Vietnam War but returned after a prison stint to become the greatest boxer of all time. Ali is a multi-time world champion and gold medalist, and likely the first person one thinks of when they hear the word “boxing.”

Via Ken Burns’ website: “He was a faithful Muslim, an unfaithful husband, a proud father, and an adoring son. He was a fearsome warrior who vanquished nearly every opponent but was finally brought down by his stubborn refusal to quit. After boxing, when Parkinson’s Syndrome had all but silenced him, he became an international hero, a saint, a symbol of freedom and courage. Today he is one of the most indelible and beloved men in history, and our four-part film, spanning over eight hours, will tell his story.”
