The TVI Take
Leon Gast's documentary about the Rumble in the Jungle — Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman in Zaire.
Educational about the specific political context (Mobutu's Zaire, Black pride in the 1970s) and Ali's extraordinary pre-fight psychological strategy. Won the Oscar for Documentary Feature. Ali's performance throughout is exceptional.
