Tomorrow night ABC2 will pay tribute to the life and career of boxing legend Muhammad Ali by replaying the feature documentary When We Were Kings.
Good Game moves from an 8:30 start to 8:20 (Doctor Who Confidential is out). 2013 doco Our Crime is also out.
Screening at 8.50pm, Tuesday, June 7 on ABC2, this Academy Award®-winning documentary of the 1974 heavyweight bout between reigning champion George Foreman and underdog challenger Muhammad Ali is absolutely thrilling.
Amazing footage of the boxers captured in the waiting weeks before the fight not only offers an intimate portrait of a boxer’s preparation, but also depicts the interesting dynamic of African-Americans connecting with the African people.
When We Were Kings, a 1996 film by Leon Gast and Taylor Hackford, features Muhammad Ali, Mobutu Seko, Spike Lee, James Brown, Don King, Leon Cast, David Sonenberg, Taylor Hackford, Leon Gast, George Foreman and B.B. King.
The Tuesday, June 7 amended ABC2 schedule is as follows:
7.30pm: Doctor Who
8.20pm: Good Game
8.50pm: When We Were Kings

I thought this would get an airing. It is a good docu. I also think that perhaps the film Ali with Will Smith playing Muhammad Ali may get a screening sometime soon as well.
