In the 1930s| Jesse Owens is a young man who is the first in his family to go to college. Going to Ohio State to train under its track and field coach| Larry Snyder|
the young African American athlete quickly impresses with his tremendous potential that gests Olympic material. However| as Owens struggles both with the
obligations of his life and the virulent racism against him| the question of whether America would compete at all at the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany is being
debated vigorously. When the American envoy finds a compromise persuasive with the Third Reich to avert a boycott| Owens has his own moral struggle about going. Upon
resolving that issue| Owens and his coach travel to Berlin to participate in a competition that would mark Owens as the greatest of America's Olympians even as the
German film director| Leni Riefenstahl| locks horns with her country's Propaganda Minister| Josef Goebbels| to film the politically embarrassing fact for posterity.
Race is nowhere near as thrillingly fleet or agile as its subject, but the story -- and a winning central performance from Stephan James -- are enough to carry it
over the finish line.
