Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 1959, Williams grew up in tough circumstances, first in the rural South and later in New York City, where he encountered urban challenges and gang life. At twenty, a friend introduced him to boxing as a means to escape the streets, setting him on a path he never anticipated. The documentary dives into Williams' rapid rise in the sport, highlighting his amateur success and eventual nickname, "The Truth," which came to represent his dominance in the ring. Standing 6'4" with a powerful jab and 85-inch reach, Williams quickly made a name for himself, going undefeated in his early professional fights which led to him nearly upsetting champion Larry Holmes in a tightly contested bout. The Truth doesn't shy away from the lows in Williams' life, capturing the challenges he faced post-boxing, including financial troubles and the impact of personal loss, particularly the untimely death of his daughter. It also recounts his time as a security guard at Ground Zero following the 9/11 attacks, symbolizing his resilience and willingness to contribute during a difficult period in New York City's history.
