A special conversation with director Regina King, screenwriter Kemp Powers, and stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree, Aldis Hodge, and Leslie Odom Jr. Moderated by Beandrea July.
On the evening of February 25, 1964, four icons of sports, entertainment and activism celebrated one of the greatest upsets in boxing history in a modest motel room in Miami. After claiming the World Heavyweight title for the first time, Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) — who would soon change his name to Muhammad Ali — got together with three friends: human rights activist Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), music superstar Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and football legend and emerging action-movie hero Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). One Night In Miami... is a fictional imagining of the historic night these towering figures spent together. Directed by Regina King and written by Kemp Powers based on his award-winning play, One Night In Miami... is set on the precipice of the momentous political and cultural upheaval of the 1960s.
