On October 16, 1968 at the Mexico City Olympic Games, two black American track and field medalists raised their black-gloved fists in silent protest for civil rights, while sharing the podium with white Australian runner Peter Norman. That Black Power salute is one of the most iconic images of the 20th Century.

Yet this documentary doesn't focus on these two black Americans, but on silver-medalist Peter Norman who supported the protest. Filmmaker Matt Norman is the nephew and started working on this documentary in 2002. In 2006, Peter Norman died, and despite costs of upto two million dollars in post-production costs, Norman was able to push through this project.

Because of this protest, Norman was blacklisted in Australia, and he was banned from participating in future Olympic games. In one of the interviews in the film, he says that he gave up sprinting and ended up playing football.

Before he died, in 2006, Matt promised Peter he'd restore his achievements to the place in history they deserve. It took six years, and Norman went broke, lost his home, and shot 72 hours of footage to make this documentary.

Some of the scenes are quite moving, especially the homage which the two African American runners, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gave Peter Norman at his funeral. The black solidarity salute in the Mexico Games was a sensitive issue in the United States, as Martin Luther King had recently been assassinated.

This is an excellent documenary and a must-see for Olympic athletes.
