Thriller in Manila

Description

In 1975, in the heat of Manila, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought their third and final contest. Although they were previously friends, Ali's continuing involvement in the Nation of Islam and portrayal of his opponent as a traitor to the black community caused a rift between the two boxers, making their last duel as much of a battle of ideologies as a clash between sportsmen. This documentary tells the story of their final bout, considered by some the greatest fight in boxing history
