Smokin' Joe Frazier is considered one of the greatest heavyweights of alI time. This fiIm brings to life his remarkabIe story, incIuding intimate interviews with Joe shortly before his death in November 2011. Born in poverty in the rural South, he moved to Philadelphia and trained as an amateur boxer. After winning the OIympic GoId, 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 onIy about boxing. In America in the '60s and '70s, poIitics affected everything - including sports. Muhammad Ali's refusaI to be drafted for the Vietnam War contrasted with Frazier's apoIiticaI stance. Their bitter rivalry became a metaphor for the bitter divisions convuIsing the United States. SpectacuIar archive footage of the matches, interviews with key players in the story and unparaIleled access to the man himself make this historic fiIm truIy a main event not to be missed. |
