OLYMPIC PRIDE, AMERICAN PREJUDICE explores the experiences of 18 African-American Olympians who defied Jim Crow and Adolf Hitler to win hearts and medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Set against the strained and turbulent atmosphere of a racially divided America, which was torn between boycotting Hitler’s Olympics or participating in the Third Reich’s grandest affair, the film follows 16 men and two women before, during and after their heroic turn at the Summer Olympic Games in Berlin.
OLYMPIC PRIDE, AMERICAN PREJUDICE opens in New York and Los Angeles on August 5th. Find out more here.
