City of Ali
City of Ali is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of how the death of Muhammad Ali brought the people of his Kentucky hometown - and the world - together for one unforgettable week. Ali's passing on June 3, 2016, came in the context of a bitter U.S. presidential election, a proposed Muslim ban and the global expansion of the Black Lives Matter movement. Yet on the day of Ali's funeral procession, more than 100,000 people lined the streets of Louisville to celebrate his life, and an estimated one billion people worldwide watched events like Ali's memorial, held in the packed KFC YUM. Center as stories of the Louisville Lip's wit, generosity, swagger and commitment to justice were retold by President Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal, Lonnie Ali, and many others. City of Ali explores Ali's lifelong relationship with his hometown through candid interviews with friends and relatives whose history with The Champ dates back to his childhood at 3302 Grand Avenue, and who share stories even devoted Ali fans have never heard. We also get behind-the-scenes accounts of this unprecedented celebration of one man's life from those who planned the events. We also hear thoughtful reflections from visitors such as NBC's Craig Melvin, TV legend Dick Cavett, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, 4-time Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield, ESPN's Hannah Storm and many others who gathered in Louisville to answer the question, "How do you say good-bye to The Greatest?"

1992: Monarchy vs Media
Queen Elizabeth II refers to 1992 as an "Annus Horribilis," a latin phrase meaning a horrible year. It was a year that three royal marriages collapsed, a fire destroyed more than a hundred rooms in Windsor castle and an extremely heated scandal involving Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, spooked Britain and the monarchy. It was the first time the Royal Family had been seen in such an intimate, yet intrusive way. With tension rising between the Queen and the media, the royals were unwillingly thrust into the spotlight. In a nutshell, the queen desired compassion and fairer coverage in a year which she felt had allowed her neither. 1992 was most certainly a horrible year, only amplified by the scrutiny of the press. The monarchy has evolved over 1,000 years. It has had all sorts of circumstances running against it, but it has survived.
