For those of you missed the film 'Ali' last night on Channel 4 I recorded it and have popped it on DVD. I will have copies available after school tomorrow.
It is essential viewing for anyone thinking of doing the Black Peoples question on the big America paper. It also stars Will Smith (who you can mention in the same question but only for his early TV/Rap work to 1990).
This is from Wikipedia...
'Ali is a 2001 American biographical film directed by Michael Mann. The film tells the story of boxing icon Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) from 1964 to 1974 featuring his capture of the heavyweight title from Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam, criticism of the Vietnam War, banishment from boxing, his return to fight Joe Frazier in 1971, and, lastly, his reclaiming the title from George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle fight of 1974. The movie also discusses the great social and political upheaval in the United States following the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.'
See me before the revision session or later in the week for a copy to borrow. Watching this actually counts as revision!
