It first aired on PBS in the U.S. in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuhammad Ali was very much an American, but he was an American who spoke to a global audience,\u201d said Ken Burns. \u201cAli\u2019s interest in Africa and other parts of the world helped shape a very international perspective, one influenced early on by his friend and mentor Malcolm X and articulated by Ali throughout his life. We could not be prouder of the film and look forward to sharing it with audiences across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Barrett, VP of sales at PBS International, added, \u201cMuhammad Ali was a monumental cultural icon with universal appeal, as is evident in the international interest and enthusiasm we\u2019ve seen for this film.
