Jesse Owens, an African-American, strives to become the greatest track and field athlete in history but must compete in the 1936 Olympics in Germany to make his claim. The racism he faces in Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy is worse than anything he has dealt with back home. Movie special features begin at 5:30 p.m. Films made possible in part by the Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s Robert H. Gartner Cultural Endowment Fund. 2016, PG-13, 134 minutes.
