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.
