I Am Ali (2014)

I Am Ali: Directed by Clare Lewins. With Muhammad Ali, Gene Kilroy, Rahman Ali, Odessa Clay. Unprecedented access to Muhammad Ali’s personal archive of “audio journals” as well as interviews and testimonials from his inner circle of family and friends are used to tell the legend’s life story.

“Many people comment on this documentary based on their thoughts of Ali, and I think it is wrong. You may think whatever you want about him, but this title is for the documentary of him, thatu0026#39;s not the place to argue his personality or whatever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary had very rare tapes and it was definitely worth watching. However, I did not like how his influence on people was covered, because many stories were short and out of context. The setup of the documentary was also quite straightforward, and it could be done a thousand times better. For instance, you can see how The Last Dance of Michael Jordan was setup, and this storyline here is not just satisfying.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll things aside, it was worth watching the human part of Muhammed Ali with its beauty and ugliness. He is one of the greatest legends of all times, and this documentary will definitely have a place in any collection about sports.”
