Known as the “Rumble in the Jungle”, the 1974 boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in Zaire is considered one of the most famous fights in history. As Ali prepared for the fight, documentarian Leon Gast was there, amassing an incredible amount of footage. This Oscar winner features appearances from James Brown, B.B. King, and the Spinners, as well as insightful interviews with Spike Lee, George Plimpton, and Norman Mailer. This brilliant documentary was two decades in the making and captures the greatest upset in boxing history. (1996, 87 mins)
