Editor Woody Richman '92 also participates in the conversation. This four-part, eight-hour film takes a deep dive into Ali's life, exploring one of the world's most iconic figures, including his extraordinary athleticism, his pacifism, his fearlessness in breaking stereotypes and his deep ties to the Nation of Islam. The evening includes extensive clips from the film and a behind-the scenes look at the making of Muhammad Ali.
