On PBS. Don't know if it's new or not, its called "The Fight", and focuses on their rematch, 1st fight, and both fighters lives. Theres an article in the new Ring magazine that gives a brief description. Seems like it will portray Schmeling as a Hitler lackey and Louis as a great american, and from what I've read that's completely untrue(the Schmeling part, not the Louis).

Just wanted to give a heads up.

If it's the one I saw a few weeks ago on BBC2 (UK) its a great Documentary and portrays both fighter in a fair and generally very good light.

That's a relief. The way the ring wrote made me thing they would portray Schmeling as a Hitler lackey. Great to hear its a fair documentary. Can't wait to see it.
