FACING ALI
Documentary/94 minutes

4/5 STARS

THIS is a documentary featuring interviews with 10 opponents of three-time world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.

Those interviewed include boxing legends such as Larry Holmes, Henry Cooper, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Leon Spinks.

Many of them had their lives changed after fighting Ali.

There is a heavy sense of tragedy, and pain and heartbreak infuse the interviews, as well as triumph - for those that did beat "The Greatest".

Director Pete McCormack has managed to get the boxers to be surprisingly candid not just about their showdowns with Ali, but also about their own lives.
