Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali is the definitive documentary about legendary icons Malcom X and Muhammad Ali featuring never before seen archival footage. The documentary feature is inspired by the book “Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship Between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X” written by Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith.
From a chance meeting to a tragic fallout, Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali’s extraordinary bond cracks under the weight of distrust and shifting ideals.
The documentary is based on the 2016 book of the same name, Blood Brothers by Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith, which covers the period when then-Cassius Clay met Malcolm X in the early 1960s and became the boxer’s mentor. The minister and activist saw Clay as a symbol of Black pride and independence, in addition to a potential vehicle for the Nation of Islam’s message.
After defeating Sonny Liston in 1964 to win the heavyweight championship, Clay announced that he was changing his name to Cassius X. Shortly thereafter, he took the name Muhammad Ali. But the relationship eventually deteriorated when Malcolm became dismayed with Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad and broke away from the movement to try and work with other civil rights leaders. Malcolm tried to persuade Ali to join him and convert to a different denomination of Islam, but was unsuccessful.
