http://rapidshare.com/files/5657…
51.5 MB @ 64 kbps. 57 min. x 2.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 2 last month.
"Former boxer himself and poet Benjamin Zephaniah reveals the man behind the gloves - from his rise to become champion at the age of 22 up to that historical moment where he lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta.
With contributions from family, friends, former boxing opponents and boxing writers who have followed him throughout his career, this documentary charts Muhammad Ali’s fascinating life.Part One - Explores Ali’s rise to become heavy-weight champion at the age of 22: his rejection of his birth name Cassius Clay, his allegiance to the Nation of Islam and his refusal to be inducted into the United States Army.
Part Two - Looks at how Ali managed to regain his title, ten years after beating Sonny Liston on the road to The Rumble. We talk to his daughters about the impact of his serial womanising, explore the impact of those last crucial fights, the Parkinson’s syndrome, and the role he played as an ambassador for orthodox Islam.
Supported with new and exclusive interviews with boxers George Foreman, Henry Cooper and Ernie Terrell, sportswriters Colin Hart and Alan Hubbard and his daughters Maryum and Hana Ali, we reveal the good, the bad and the ugly side to the icon that we know and love today."
