Français
Basée sur la pièce de théâtre primée de Kemp Powers, One Night in Miami… est l’histoire imaginée de ce qui a suivi la victoire de Muhammad Ali (Eli Goree), 22 ans, en 1964, contre le champion poids lourd Sonny Liston. Au premier plan, on retrouve Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) et Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). Le film explore les conflits personnels et politiques auxquels ces hommes sont confrontés – équilibrant leur image publique dans un monde où le summum du succès pour un Noir est d’être un sportif ou un artiste, parallèlement à leur volonté de lutter pour la libération des Noirs. Les conversations qui ont suivi n’ont pas été sans conflits et les représentations de King de leurs vies séparées les unes des autres témoignent autant de la force de leur caractère que de la puissance du récit palpitant du film. Ce fut une rencontre d’esprits lors d’une nuit historique. Ensemble, ils allaient devenir plus que la somme de leurs parties, ouvrant la conversation sur les droits civiques tout en reconnaissant le contrecoup auquel ils étaient confrontés.

Une nuit à Miami…
Based on Kemp Powers’ award-winning stage play, One Night in Miami… is the imagined story of what followed 22-year-old Muhammad Ali’s (Eli Goree) 1964 victory over heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. Sat ringside are Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). The film explores the personal and political conflicts faced by the men - balancing their public image in a world where the pinnacle of success for a black person was to be a sportsperson or entertainer, alongside their drive to fight for black liberation. The conversations that followed were not without conflict and King’s depictions of their lives apart from each other is as much a testament to the strength of their character as it is the power of the film’s thrilling narrative. This was a meeting of minds on a historic night. Together they were to become more than the sum of their parts, opening up the civil rights conversation even as they acknowledged the backlash they faced.
