The eagerly-anticipated trailer for I am Ali is here! The film promises to deliver a never-seen-before look at the iconic fighter, a personal and intimate look at the man behind the legend, told from the inside.
From the producers of the award-winning Searching for the Sugarman this documentary is a really personal and up-close look at Muhammad Ali. The story is told through exclusive access to Ali’s personal archive of ‘audio journals’ combined with intimate interviews from his inner circle of family and friends – his children, ex-wife, brother, plus legends form the boxing community like Mike Tyson, George Foreman and Gene Kilroy.
Executive producer John Battsek comments: “It’s a film built around phone conversations that Ali recorded for many years with his family. That’s the spine of the film. It’s a very personal perspective on Ali, from Ali – in a way – through a 20-year period of his life when he was still fighting,” he told Screen Daily.
Directed by Clare Lewins and produced by Clare Lewins, George Chignell and Greg Hobden this intimate portrait tells the story of Cassius Clay’s transformation into a living legend. It arrives in theatres and on demand on October 10, 2014.
