When We Were Kings (1996, Leon Gast)

The champ, George Foreman, vs. the kid, Muhammad Ali, in Zaire And other politics involved in the affair Including rare footage leading up to the event Plus, interviews with VIPs, remembering the effects … We heard about that legendary clashing of the titans But could never have contextualized the metrics or environment Until, 90 minutes of history And images and music, I was riveted, infinity Listened/half-watched while assembling furniture after turning on Henry Fonda For President and realizing it had subtitles. Good movie.
