MUMBAI:Discovery
Channel will air a special programme called The Complete
Ali based on the legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali. The programme
is scheduled to go on air on 9 September at 8 pm.
In
the programme, Discovery Channel will explore the life of
Ali and his influence inside and beyond the ropes of the boxing
ring.
The
programme bears witness to the life of Ali through the eyes
of people who were closest to Ali, whose lives were touched
by him and who, in turn, were inspired to take bold action
of their own.
The
Complete Ali will also showcase his journey into life
while confronting Parkinson'd disease.
The
show also has Ali's daughter and co-author of Soul of a
Butterfly, Hana Ali speaking about the inspiration she
derived from her father's faith.
From his seat in the State Legislature, Reginald Meeks speaks
of Ali's magical effect on blacks in the 60's and how Ali
gave him the courage to speak out against the Vietnam War
and register as a conscientious objector.
Young,
basketball star Etan Thomas credits Ali as his inspiration.
The marathon runner John Ball, a Parkinson's patient himself,
understands Ali's fight and cites him as his inspiration.
