Biographical documentary centers on famed boxer Muhammad Ali's resistance to serving in the Vietnam War.

ABSTRACT
Floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, legendary fighter Muhammad Ali's biggest showdown of his career came from outside the ring in 1967 when the former Cassius Clay -- then a recent convert to Islam -- mounted a spirited campaign against serving in the Vietnam War. Ali's struggle, which saw him earning the adulation and ire of various elements of a racially and politically-divided society and facing exile from his sport, is chronicled in The Trials of Muhammad Ali, following an athletic superstar's challenge to reconcile his morals with his career.
