Smokin' Joe Frazier is considered one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. This fiIm brings to life his remarkable story, incIuding intimate interviews with Joe shortly before his death in November 2011. Born in poverty in the rural South, he moved to PhiIadeIphia and trained as an amateur boxer. After winning the OIympic Gold, he turned pro and became a huge star. His matches with Muhammad Ali and George Foreman were biIIed as the greatest matches of the 20th century.
The story isn't only about boxing. ln America in the '60s and '70s, politics affected everything - incIuding sports. Muhammad AIi's refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War contrasted with Frazier's apolitical stance. Their bitter rivalry became a metaphor for the bitter divisions convulsing the United States. Spectacular archive footage of the matches, interviews with key pIayers in the story and unparalIeIed access to the man himseIf make this historic fiIm truly a main event not to be missed. |
