Here is a trailer for the episode about him in a series examining the lives of African intellectuals. The same YouTube user has published interviews with Professor Ali.

His documentary "The Africans: A Triple Heritage" was broadcast on United States public television. It was my first introduction to African studies. I particularly remember an image of Professor Ali atop a rusted industrial facility decrying the prevailing ideas of industrialization and development. There are some clips on YouTube.
Use Worldcat to find the DVD or VHS tape in a library near you. I could not find a source to purchase the video. I couldn't even find a torrent for it. He did author a book by the same name.
رحمه الله
