Description
In the heart of all considerations is Ali's refusal to be drafted into the Army who makes him in my eyes a hero. A great boxer no doubt about that, a pretty boy with a big mouth and charm like no other, none the less his biggest fight took a few years, at the end he stood tall. Ali's favorite sentences: (1) "Why should I go to Vietnam killing people who never said NIGGER to me?"
Hero, coward, opportunist, that is not the point, my image just tries to pay homage to all the people who say no to participating in a war that they don't believe in. Just because your country asks you to fight, doesn't mean we should be like sheep and follow the heard, we all know that sheep are sent sooner or later to the slaughter..

Good stuff and yeah I totally agree.I'm usually the one not doing the Mexican wave{cos I didn't want to}.Too many sheep in this world and the one's who are not are closely watched.

Great work. The lights, the mood the synthesis... I do not know either if he was any of the characterisation you mention, but he was a popular figure and by his actions inspired many... Actually it was really bold to raise and say a huge NO to all those who profit from death....
