Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami

Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami explores the evolution of one of the most significant cultural figures of our time. Cassius Clay arrived in Miami in the fall of 1960, only months after earning an Olympic gold medal at the Rome Olympics. He moved into a succession of hotels in Miami's Overtown district -- when that neighborhood was considered Harlem South, a vibrant center of black entertainment and commerce -- and trained with Angelo Dundee at the Fifth Street Gym in Miami Beach. It was in this period that Cassius Clay, in essence, became Muhammad Ali. The transformation was completed in February 1964, when Clay, in one of the most dramatic upsets in boxing history, defeated heavyweight champion Sonny Liston in Miami Beach and, two days later, declared to the world his new identity.
