I have to admit, while individually I knew things about both those icons, I was not too aware on their shared (his)story. So while others, you(?),may already be in an advantage considering the focus of this documentary, I don't think it was bad not knowing much. I had quite a few moments during the movie, that felt ... well a lot of feelings actually that I went through. And I reckon the same will be true for you.
Sometimes you wonder, why or how some people who are/were meant to be together, help each other out, have issues with each other. So this is not just some good feel thing you are about to watch. A lot of animosity, a lot of other things will come forth. Again, you may be aware of many of them (or most of them),but it is really well told and edited. It makes sense for those not too aware of circumstances ... like myself.

Plot summary
Tells the extraordinary story behind the friendship of two of the most iconic figures of the 20th century: Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. Few people understand the bond these men shared. The charismatic and outspoken Olympic champion who charmed the nation, and the excon-turned intellectual revolutionary who railed against the evils of white oppression by speaking truth to power. The message they carry, still as potent and relevant today as ever before. Their bond was undoubtedly deep, their friendship real and their legacies inextricably bound.

Fighting ... together?
Great Documentary
This wasn't as boring as some people have been saying. I for one thought it was very well put together, informative and showed the contrast between these two huge figures. The ups, down and everything in between. I know there are a lot of other documentaries about these two but if you're looking for an interesting documentary, look no further.
Good documentary but
I really don't like it when we're presented bits of information about certain characters, leading up to "lies of omission" so to speak. Marcus Garvey is presented as a cult figure and nobody says nothing but good things about him. It should be noted, though, that Marcus Garvey was a self-proclaimed fascist, one of the few in America at the time, even more, he claimed he was the original fascist which was baloney, of course, since Mussolini was the father of fascism. Nevertheless, I feel like this was a bit of information that shouldn't have missed even though it damages a little of Garvey's reputation. Otherwise, the bits about Malcolm were accurate and I like that it showed that there were a lot of black people who weren't inspired by Luther King's peaceful ways.
