Plot:
One day in 1930, Jesse Owens became a freshman at Ohio State University with the advice of his family. The track and field team coach, former athlete Lowry, noticed his talent and determined that he had the potential to become an Olympic medal contender. However, as a Latino black athlete, he was excluded to varying degrees in life and on the field, and the responsibility of supporting his family made him neglect training. With the help of Lowry, Jesse's wife and children's lives were guaranteed, and he easily broke the world records for 100 meters and long jump in his first competition. The 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany was imminent, but anti-Semitism and anti-people of color voices were everywhere, and the United States voted to participate. Jesse shouldered huge pressure and went to Berlin accompanied by coach Lowry, ready to use his results to justify himself. In the long jump, Jesse's opponent was Luz, a strong rival of the German team, and he won the championship with his selfless help and support. Jesse returned to his homeland with four gold medals as expected. His honor is not only a personal pride, but also a reflection of national pride. Everything about this Olympic Games was recorded by the camera of female director Lainie and recorded in history.
