HeyUGuys's video: One Night in Miami star Eli Goree on honouring Cassius Clay in Regina King s debut film

Eli Goree is interviewed for One Night in Miami, Regina King’s directorial debut from Amazon Studios. The film stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree, Aldis Hodge, Leslie Odom, Jr., Joaquina Kalukango, Nicolette Robinson with Beau Bridges and Lance Reddick. It tells the story of a meeting between Cassius Clay (soon to be called Muhammad Ali), Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown. King directs a script from Kemp Powers, based on his stage play of the same name. Plot: On one incredible night in 1964, four icons of sports, music, and activism gathered to celebrate one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. When underdog Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), defeats heavyweight champion Sonny Liston at the Miami Convention Hall, Clay memorialized the event with three of his friends: Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). Based on the award-winning play of the same name, and directed by Regina King, One Night In Miami... is a fictional account inspired by the historic night these four formidable figures spent together. It looks at the struggles these men faced and the vital role they each played in the civil rights movement and cultural upheaval of the 1960s. More than 40 years later, their conversations on racial injustice, religion, and personal responsibility still resonate. Amazon Studios will release ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI... in select cinemas 26th December and on Prime Video 15th January. --------------------- For syndication or usage opportunities please contact syndication@heyuguys.co.uk. --------------------- More from HeyUGuys: Website ► http://HeyUGuys.com Follow us on Twitter ► http://twitter.com/HeyUGuys Subscribe here! ► http://bit.ly/HeyUGuysYTSub Facebook ► http://facebook.com/HeyUGuys Instagram ► http://instagram.com/HeyUGuysOfficial ---------------------
