William Klein, Director
Ten pivotal years in the life of Muhammad Ali — from Cassius Clay's 1964 debut as a swaggering and savvy media star to Ali's triumph in 1974's RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE against George Foreman in Zaire — are mesmerizingly captured in this documentary portrait by William Klein. An influential photographer and filmmaker, Klein had a trained eye for the power of the media image, and recognized Ali's charisma and social significance early in his career. "Fascinating … riveting … Ali is always compelling, no matter what he's doing" — The Guardian.
