Now, tragically, it has to close.

This presentation help me understand the triumphs and tribulations of Joe Frazier's life. The stardom that he gained by becoming and Olympic champion, and the painful experience of living under the shadow of Mohamed Ali's popularity.

We’ve decided to make it our documentary of the month for February, Black History Month, because we can’t think of many better ways to live a life than the way Joe Frazier did.

This film is definitely a must see. Most boxing related films are not of interest to me; however, the portrayal of Joe's passion and true talent for boxing made me a true fan of his. The film goes above and beyond telling the story of a boxer, it proves that a man's passion can bring joy and positive energy to a community as a whole.

I'm not a fan of boxing and will be honest...I've never really followed the sport. After watching this movie, which was recommended by a friend, it has brought to light a whole new perspective on boxing and most importantly, Joe Frazier. A well put together film on his life and legacy that I hope will continue to live on in Philly.

I loved the film. I learned so much about Joe Fraizer. He was truly a great man that didn't get enough appreciation while he was here. Rest in Peace Joe Fraizer!

Hello all - I'm the director of this film and we're so pleased that Hulu have made it their documentary of the month. We hope that the film can help contribute, even in a small way, to a true understanding of who Joe was. Bill Rhoden at the New York Times wrote an excellent piece on Joe when he passed, he talked about our film and how we should remember Joe as a human being (http://preview.tinyurl.com/7tnf4zc). That's what we wanted to do with this documentary, to give a true sense of who Joe was as a man and how where he came from related to how he lived his life. All of us involved in the project hope you enjoy it and we'd love to know your thoughts about the film and Joe. Please feel free to visit us at www.facebook.com/joefrazierfilm.
