When We Were Kings
Aroview: Dateline: Zaire, 1974, the 'Rumble in the Jungle'. The hype and drama of the Muhammad Ali/George Foreman boxing match is brilliantly caught in this Oscar-winning documentary.
Ali spars, Norman Mailer provides commentary and President Mobutu puts the wind up everyone. Twenty five years in the crafting, this retains all the verve and thrill of a hot scoop.

4 stars (Very Good) It includes quite a bit in its economical running time - as well as the fight it sets the scene with musical items, interviews, monologues from you know who, and describes the political scene in Zaire. ~Tubbs
