This new documentary reveals how the death of Muhammad Ali brought the people of his Louisville, KY hometown—and the world—together for one unforgettable week. Ali passed away on June 3, 2016, in the midst of a divisive U.S. presidential election, a proposed Muslim travel ban, a series of police shootings of unarmed Black men, and the global emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Yet on the day of his funeral procession, more than 100,000 people lined the streets of Louisville and over a billion people worldwide tuned in to his memorial, where he was eulogized by President Bill Clinton and others. Cleveland premiere. 82 min.
