- Synopsis
- 'The Trials of Muhammad Ali' is about an emerging sports superhero choosing faith and conscience over fame and fortune, in defiance of an American public enraged by his opposition to the Vietnam War and unwilling to accept his conversion to Islam.
Archival scenes highlight the life forces who support and oppose him, including his spiritual mentors, Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad. Interviews shot exclusively for the film feature those who were there: his brother, Rahman; his bride, Khalilah Camacho-Ali; New York Times writer, Robert Lipsyte; and Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan.
What emerges is the hidden history of Muhammad Ali.
