Race

Directed by Stephen Hopkins

In 1936 the Olympic Games were held in Berlin. Organised by the Nazi-Party, the games were intended to showcase Hitler’s vision of the supremacy of the Aryan race. That Nazi dream was shattered by a black American athlete named Jesse Owens, a man that the New York Times called “the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history”. Race is an enthralling film about courage, determination, friendship and an inspiring drama about one man’s fight to become an Olympic legend.
