Episode 22: Today, Omar Ayyash, President & CEO of the World Trade Center Kentucky interviews Graham Shelby, who directed a documentary film about Muhammad Ali, “The City of Ali”. They’ll discuss how the idea got started, how it grew and the global impact the film is having.
Meet Graham Shelby
Graham is a writer and storyteller who’s lived in Louisville for the past 20 years. His role as director and the path of the film, itself, is fairly unconventional.
Muhammad Ali passed away in 2016. The coverage of his funeral and its effect on the entire city of Louisville was watched worldwide. People came to Louisville from all over the world to pay their respects. Muhammad was buried at Cave Hill Cemetery, in Louisville. This is the city in which he grew up and began his boxing career. The celebration of his life and his mission in life was a special moment in Louisville’s history.
At the time, Graham was serving as the speech writer for Mayor Greg Fischer. After the week-long celebration ended, Mayor Fischer told his team that they needed to capture what had just happened, so the experience could be preserved, and retold from a Louisville perspective.
The City of Ali can be viewed on the Delta Airlines entertainment menu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Tubi and other streaming services. A teacher’s guide has also been developed for educators who wish to use the documentary in classrooms, at the middle school, high school and college levels.
