Likely reflecting the era it was made in, this documentary has little to say about the struggles Jesse Owens faced when he returned to America. Instead we see focus on his incredible Olympic accomplishments, with his only mention of life post-Berlin being a kind gesture from a stranger during a parade. A particularly poignant moment comes when Owens meets with the son of Luz Long, a German athlete who helped Owens during the Games and kept in contact with him until his death during WWII. These moments are a world away from today's Olympic coverage - navel-gazing nonsense about the time this athlete stubbed their toe or that athlete got a cold. I'm glad that we have these moments from a time when the Olympics were treated with dignity, along with athletes like Owens who did us so proud.
