The documentary strongly emphasizes Muhammad Ali’s identity as a Black and Muslim athlete, sometimes foregrounding themes of racial, social, and political struggle over traditional sports storytelling. While these are key aspects of his life, the focus appears, at times, to overshadow a more balanced exploration of athletic merit and personal flaws.

Traditional American values, such as patriotism, conventional masculinity, and mainstream religious perspectives, are frequently critiqued or viewed through the lens of racial and cultural conflict. The documentary often revisits themes of injustice and systemic oppression, sometimes sidelining themes of personal accountability or traditional morality.

Alternative or dissenting viewpoints to Ali’s activism and cultural stances tend to be minimized or presented through negative or antagonistic perspectives. The show amplifies modern progressive interpretations, with little room for nuanced pluralism or sincere opposing perspectives.
