Born the son of a cotton-picker in the US Deep South, world heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis became an unlikely hero when his 1938 defeat of German Max Schmeling was seen as a triumph for democracy over the forces of fascism. But Louis soon became drawn into a downward spiral of debt and controversy. Narrated by Josette Simon.
