I just finished watching. Great great documentary. It follows Kassims life from when he loses to Roman Karmazin all the way to his Middleweight fight with Jermain Taylor. The climax of the movie is his trip back to Uganda for the first time since he was 17. We see Kassim likes to smoke weed (I'm being serious) and loves his family so much. He feels bad because they killed his father in Uganda because he left. One of the last scenes features him visiting his fathers grave which is an unbelievable moment. Watch it anytime you can. Very good, I recommend it to not just any boxing fan, but to everybody.

just watched it on sundance amazing documentary

He goes back to Uganda ?, thought he was being treated like a traitor to the country, I'm sure he said in an interview that if he goes back they'll kill him.

Anyway going to see if I can watch it now.

Yeah me too. This doc beats all of the Ali docs they gotta make every year telling us something we already know. This is good, something different.

He was pardoned after the Taylor fight. His manager let him know before the fight. I don't think he should of told him, made Ouma think about the pardon instead of the fight.
