What a fascinating film. Time does indeed stand still watching this. Why nine people have given the thumbs down to this puzzles me. Maybe its the Nazi component. The message of enduring humanity and friendship strikes a chord and hits an emotional nerve. These Olympic Games of 1936 represent all that is both good and bad with human nature.
I absolutely love this documentary. I'm a WWII junkie. But to see hitler's reaction and theories blown out of the water is priceless history and should never be forgotten by Black people or any form of naziism. Jesse Owens was the prelude to The Tuskeegee Airmen, Battle of the Bulge, and the U.S.S. Mason and countless others of African/Hebrew descent who have proven Caucasions wrong in their assumption of superiority for a thousand years. Salute!!!
What a great find! Thanks for posting this amazing sport and historical documentary. Do you have any idea when this was actually filmed? I wonder if they ever learned who gave him that incredible gift upon his return to the states.
Jesse Owens is a legend and my hero
Such a well spoken legend. So glad he's part of our US history.
It's 2014 and this documentary is still one of the best ones ever!
Jesse Owens was a trailblazer and very well spoken, considering the time period he was in.
Very nice voice and well spoken
Such a beautiful documentary. Thanks so much.
I haven't seen this film since it was shown as part of Bud Greenspan's PBS series "Olympiad" in 1976...Thank you for posting!!

Great upload mate. When's the documentary from??
+bascet1 1966, saw it on TV when it came out and was fascinated. Took almost another 40 years to ever find a copy of it again.

The images showing Hitler before and after Owens was awarded are not from the Olympic games but from the Youth rally in 1934...
Hitler looked like he just ate a five pound bag of onions. lol
