...[Ali's] presence alone makes WHEN WE WERE KINGS a special event....[The film] always compels our interest...
Los Angeles Times
...[Ali,] wonderfully captured in finely chosen swatches of film, was beautiful, charming, self-confident, articulate and burning with talent in his prime...

Product Description:
Twenty-two years in the making, this documentary chronicles one of the most famous heavyweight championship bouts in history, the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire in 1974. Along with highlights of underdog Ali's stunning victory and infamous "Rope-A-Dope" tactics, the film also covers the back-story of the event and its cultural significance, with footage of Ali's goodwill tours, concert footage featuring B.B. King and James Brown, interviews with George Plimpton, Norman Mailer and Don King, and more. Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature.
