Thriller in Manila

In 1975 Muhammad Ali met Joe Frazier in one of the boxing world’s most electrifying bouts ever. Telling the story of this epic match (primarily through the eyes of Joe Frazier) gives us to witness the excitement and furore these two titans caused, against a backdrop of political and racial upheaval in Seventies America. Using unseen archive footage and exclusive interviews with Frazier, his son Marvis, as well as boxing experts and team members, this film uncovers Frazier’s thrilling story and casts an alternative gaze on two of the world’s greatest sportsmen.
