The filmmakers of Canada, France, Germany, and the UK have collaborated to release the sports drama Race. It will hit the movie theaters on February 19, 2016, in the USA. The plot and the story behind it are very intense. Read on and see for yourself.
The plot
Race focuses on the story of Jesse Owens who won 4 gold medals during the Olympics in 1936 which took place in Germany. Owens was a legend, a true sports star in long jumps and sprints, and was one of the best track and field athletes ever. He was of African American origin, which makes the story of his victories in Hitler’s Berlin remarkable. The film highlights the importance of human attributes, such as tolerance, friendship, motivation, and courage, and focuses on one man’s story of overcoming obstacles to achieve the desired goal.
