Masterful Movie

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Best movie ever!

30 for 30 Shorts: Ali: The Mission (2013)Interesting episode in the 30 FOR 30 SHORTS series takes a look at a mission that Muhammad Ali went on in 1990 as he traveled to Iraq to meet with Saddam Hussein who was holding many American's as human hostages. The 13-minute documentary shows how Ali got involved, the original backlash of him meeting with Saddam as well as the conclusion to the events. The most valuable thing here is that a couple of the hostages are interviewed about their ordeal, which allows us to hear about how they were captured, how they were treated and what it was like when they were freed due to the work of Ali. All of them obviously have great things to say about Ali as they talk about what it was like meeting him after being freed. Some of the family members of the hostages are also interviewed about what they were feeling knowing Ali was going to Iraq to try and save their loved ones. This here is certainly an extremely good episode as there's plenty of great stories as well as some video footage of Ali in Iraq trying to do what needed to be done.Episode: A-
