Who has really witnessed the remarkable life of Smokin' Joe Frazier, one of the greatest athletes of the 20th Century? His first fight with Muhammad Ali was akin to the moon landing in its global reach but who has seen this great boxer and complex man beyond the shadow of his greatest rival?

"Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears" is a feature documentary film that shows the real Joe Frazier for the first time, as he comes to terms with the past and finds forgiveness for a man he once called a friend. It is the story of a man loved by a son, a son who dreams of preserving his father's legacy, and of a community, for whom Joe’s gym has been a sanctuary for the last three decades.
