Tells the extraordinary story behind the friendship of two of the most iconic figures of the 20th century: Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. Few people understand the bond these men shared. The charismatic and outspoken Olympic champion who charmed the nation, and the excon-turned intellectual revolutionary who railed against the evils of white oppression by speaking truth to power. The message they carry, still as potent and relevant today as ever before. Their bond was undoubtedly deep, their friendship real and their legacies inextricably bound.

Inspirational movie yes but boring

I understand that these people were inspirational and all that but this documentary was very boring. I had to fast forward it during many many scenes cause it was honestly putting me to sleep.

I found it fascinating to learn about these famous historical people but maybe its just how this documentary was produced n created it just screamed boring at you. It would be nice if they had added a fun narrator with energy and liveliness i guess?
