Jesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy.

I really like the 2 part TV movie/miniseries, The Jesse Owens Story, with the great Dorian Harewood as Jesse Owens.
Given that, I'm very interested in seeing this.

The initial advertising turned me off of this due to how heavy handed it was. The more recent ads seem to have cut back on that a little.

Yeah, sorry, I think we have all seen this movie about 20 times already. The amazing sporting and social story will be a backdrop to two hours of dialogue that probably bear little to no resemblance to things that were actually said.

Exactly what it looks like in the trailer
The Jesse Owens biopic Race is a polite movie about an ugly time (And it would have made for great Oscar bait)

Anyone have filming locations other than Berlin? Obviously Ohio Stadium (OSU), Ferry Field (UMich) and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum have been updated, but the original buildings stand. Hopefully it isn't completely CGI.

I take it Jason Sedakis was like number 400 on their list and everyone else said "No". What is he doing in there?
