{"product_id":"muhammad-ali-made-in-miami","title":"Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami","description":"This mildly entertaining but ultimately vapid and unsatisfying film recounts the period when Cassius Clay, a talented and ambitious athlete with an awkward, unconventional boxing style who trained for long hours in a Miami gym in the early 1960s, became Muhammad Ali, the charismatic, fast-talking boxing icon who developed a complex and controversial relationship with Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam. Rather than explore these fascinating aspects of one of sports' most celebrated figures, the filmmakers devote a majority of the program to Ali's two bouts with Sonny Liston. Interviewees include Ali trainer Angelo Dundee and fight doctor Ferdie Pachecho, but these insiders offer no new insight into the subject's life or career. This is a failed opportunity to dig deep into the soul and character of a sports legend. Other, more substantive documentaries on Ali are available (e.g., \"Muhammad Ali: The Whole Story\"), so this one can be skipped.
