We are so pleased to announce that White Dog Arts, in Association with Executive Producer Charlie Hewitt, are in Production for a Documentary entitled "Raising Ali: a Lewiston Story"

On May 25, 1965 - Lewiston, Maine hosted one of the most
controversially and famous sporting events of all time - Ali vs Liston II.

Forever immortalized in the Neil Leifer photograph of an animated Ali, standing over a prone Liston as Ali screams “get up and fight”.

As we approach the 50th anniversary of “The Phantom Punch” - Raising Ali, a documentary film, will focus not just on the events surrounding May 25th, 1965, but will explore aspects of personal memories, civic and cultural identity, and inevitable changes that come with time.

"Raising Ali..." will be told through the words of current and former residents of Lewiston, community leaders past and present, participants in the event, and with the use of archival material.

Stay tuned as we release more information and share some great news about upcoming events.

In 2004 I made a promise to myself and others to finish telling a story that I didn't have the skills or strength to tell at the time. I have reached a point where I'm ready to fulfill that promise - not because I have to - but because I want to - My next documentary will be on Manny Verzosa - His Life, His Loves, His Passions, His Struggles, His Victories- and His Music

Let the journey begin...
