The Trials of Muhammad Ali Screening
The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013), directed by Bill Siegel, is a compelling Kartemquin documentary tracing Ali’s transformation from Cassius Clay to global icon and advocate for peace.

Free and open to all, the screening will take place at the Hi-Pointe Theatre, 1005 McCausland Ave, St. Louis, MO 63117.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Kartemquin Films, the Film & Media Archive is partnering with the Hi-Pointe Theatre to highlight a diversity of films from the renowned documentary production house.
