Photographer and director William Klein had total and unique access to the world of the great Muhammad Ali. Thus he achieved not only the best, but also the most authentic documentary about the boxing star. A portrait that revolves around three of his most famous fights, it also reflects the exciting socio-political and cultural climate of the time through fascinating images that reflect the physical and rhetorical prowess of Ali, an athlete who transcended his craft to become one of the most relevant figures of his time.
