A really good look at the life and times of “The World’s Fastest Man”, Jesse Owens, and some of the obstacles that he overcame in his growing up years and his triumphant performance at the Berlin Olympics, in front of Adolf Hitler none the less.

Jesse became a national hero, but still had to deal with a lot of the social issues and racial issues of the day.
