When We Were Kings

"The Academy Award-winning 1997 documentary following the world heavyweight fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman"

On October 30, 1974, perhaps the most famous heavyweight championship boxing match of all time took place in Kinshasa, Zaire: the 'Rumble in the Jungle' between champion George Foreman and challenger Muhammad Ali. In historical footage and interviews, this documentary explores the relationship between African-Americans and the African continent during the Black Power era in terms of both popular culture and international politics, including the brutality of then-dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
