Pariah: The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston

It was in 1970, a mere eight years after he knocked out Floyd Patterson for the World Heavyweight title, that Charles "Sonny" Liston was found dead in his Las Vegas home. This comprehensive Showtime documentary looks at his story from his troubled upbringing and rise to ring dominance, his 1964 loss of the championship to the underdog Muhammad Ali, and the controversies that would swirl around both his remaining years and the circumstances of his death. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.
