The Carpenter Center, a partner of the Independent
Television Service, will host six free screenings of ITVS documentary films through
its Community Cinema project. We’ll offer guest speakers, information,
resources and other programming designed to enrich your experience with each
film. The films cover important social issues such as racism, homophobia, education,
climate change, freedom of religion, and women’s rights.
The Trials of Muhammad Ali covers
the famed boxer’s toughest bout of all: his battle to overturn the five-year
prison sentence he received for refusing U.S. military service. The film
explores Ali’s exile years when he was banned from boxing and found himself in
the crosshairs of conflicts concerning race, religion, and wartime dissent.
