When Ali Came to Ireland is a 2012 Irish documentary film directed by Ross Whitaker. It tells the story of how Killorglin-born circus strongman and publican, Michael "Butty" Sugrue, put up £300,000 and persuaded Muhammad Ali to make his first visit to Ireland to fight against Alvin Lewis in Croke Park on 19 July 1972.

Ali went to Ireland with an entourage on 11 July 1972 to spend time training for the fight. While there, he was interviewed for RTÉ Television by Cathal O'Shannon and was taught the rudiments of hurling by Eddie Keher.

Ali won the Lewis fight with a technical knockout in the 11th round, and Sugrue lost a lot of money bankrolling it. The documentary was first broadcast on RTÉ One on 1 January 2013.

Ali returned to Ireland twice in later years. He took part in the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics in Dublin in 2003, and he visited the birthplace of his great grandfather, Abe Grady, in Ennis in 2009, where he was made an Honorary Freeman of the town.

This film follows 12 years in the lives of three Irish Traveller families (Joyces, Nevins, and Quinns) and their bitter feuds and fights. The film explores the reasons why they hold these fights and explores in-depth these families' secret life, which is barely known to outsiders of the Traveller community. The real reason for the feud among the families is never revealed, as they will not talk about it to outsiders.

Été 2006 à Kinshasa. Martini, Jeannette, Hélène et Rosette échangent des coups tous les jours avec Coach Judex au vieux stade Tata Raphaël, là où en 1974 Mohamed Ali mit George Foreman KO lors du match le plus légendaire de l’histoire de la boxe. À l’aube, des milliers de personnes du ghetto viennent s’entraîner et organiser des réunions politiques. En échos à la lutte pour le président du Congo (RDC), Judex bataille pour organiser des tournois de boxe féminine avec peu d’argent… Kinshasa chante, Kinshasa a faim et les filles de Judex essaient de survivre, sans trop d’illusion mais toujours avec espoir. Un film sur les femmes dans un pays où les hommes sont devenus fous.

Belarmino comprises two strands: an experiential and an interview strand, and constantly alternates between the two. Although these are carefully intertwined on both the sound and image track, they can be separated for ease of discussion.
