It was written and directed by Euzhan Palcy a French-Martinican woman whose films are known to explore themes of race gender and politics with an emphasis on the perpetuated effects of colonialism.

Color sharp. Under archival quality mylar cover. Considered one of the greatest boxers of all time Sugar Ray Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951 and by 1958 he had become the first boxer to win a divisional world championship five times. In a career that spanned 25 years Robinson amassed 175 wins 110 knockouts and just 19 losses. Robinson's ability to cross weight classes caused boxing fans and writers to dub him "pound for pound the best" a sentiment that has not faded over the years. Muhammad Ali liked to call Robinson "the king the master my idol." Robinson inspired Ali's famous matador style which he used to defeat Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title in 1964. In 1984 The Ring magazine placed Robinson No. 1 in its book "The 100 Greatest Boxers of All Time." Robinson finally retired from the sport for good in 1965. Two years later he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The first edition is now very rare in hardcover.</p> Viking hardcover
