When the main event was delayed, extending Ali's stay in Africa, Gast wound up amassing a treasure trove of footage, capturing the wildly charismatic athlete training for one of the toughest bouts of his career while basking in his role as black America's proud ambassador to postcolonial Africa. Two decades in the making, When We Were Kings features interviews with Norman Mailer and George Plimpton that illustrate the sensational impact of the fight, rounding out an Academy Award-winning portrait of Ali that captures his charm, grace, and defiance.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B07VJWWYMN\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B07VJWWYMN.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:George Foreman|Muhammad Ali|Don King|B.B.
