“Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears” premieres across Europe on ESPN America 28 June 2012, 9.30 CET.
Four years in the making, reveals the real Joe Frazier – for the first time, we meet the man behind the legend. With appearances by George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Bernard Hopkins and the late Angelo Dundee among others.
Narrated by Joe’s son, Marvis, the film has quite a story behind it. With unprecedented access to Joe’s life during his last years, the doc reveals the human side to the legendary fighter and shines a light on a unique icon.
Joe was due to attend the film’s festival premiere at New York’s DocNYC in November 2011 but in a sad and strange coincidence it turned out that the premiere took place on the day that Joe passed away.
Before it was known he had cancer, Joe was able to see the film at a New York preview screening in May 2011. He said:
It really lets people see a true picture of what I am about and where I am coming from.
Marvis has called the film,
touching and beautiful
