THE ONE delves into critical moments from Ali's career, his battles inside and outside the ring, and the personal sacrifices he made in his fight for justice, equality, and peace. “I wish to treat Ali as a Shakespearean character. He has everything that Shakespeare would love. He rose to fame, fell, then stood up again and fought against many, including himself,” said David Serero.
