"Dramatization of the life of legendary track star Jesse Owens. His monumental performance over Hitler's supermen at the 1936 Olympics captured America's heart-winning four Gold medals, setting two Olympic records and one World record. But the Olympic champion returned to a country where no one would offer him a job. An American hero, Owens still could not ride in the front of the bus as the struggle to survive amidst prejudice intensified. This docudrama traces Owens life from sharecropper's son, through marriage to his high school sweetheart, the historic Olympics, and on to the difficulties of life after athletic glory."@en
