MUHAMMAD ALI: MADE IN MIAMI
PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET
(Check Local Listings) This documentary captures a dizzying, whirlwind moment in time, when the brilliantly talented, boastfully poetic boxer known as Cassius Clay took a stand outside of the ring as well, changing his name, and his direction and fate, as he embraced a new identity and sensibility. In Miami, he rubbed shoulders with everyone from Malcolm X (pictured) to the Beatles, but it was the man of Clay, reshaped as Muhammad Ali, whose fame eventually outshone them all. This documentary explores, and explains, that powerful transformation and trajectory.
