Excellent portrait of an American Hero.......2007-01-10

I was deeply moved by this film that captures the reality of what one of the greatest of our countrymen went through. Much misunderstood throughout history, but cleared up in this film, Jessie Owens is an example that is just as needed today as ever. We owe a great deal to people that lived when he did, suffered in the North like he did, and paved the way for countless others to follow. His faults are honestly shown here, but we need to remember that when he came to prominence it was not like it is today. He "paid his dues" in full!!!

Real story about the life of Jesse Owens.......2004-12-28

This is one of the films I seen. It has good information that discusses about the late Olympic great Jesse Owens. I think everybody should see this film 'cuz it's a classic. Good acting and good quality to it.

Good solid film.......2000-03-06

Jesse Owens is a Hero.he stood Hate in the Face&Looked it down and was a Champion not only of Sport but of Human Rights.Dorian Harewood a Good Actor who i have seen in countless films does a solid job here.

Great story... is it all true?.......1999-06-22

I am a major fan of Jesse Owens, and this film is definitely for fans. Dorian Harewood portrays Jesse very well, but almost in a god-like perfection. Of course, biographies are supposed to emphasize good qualities, but this film leaves you wondering if Jesse Owens had any bad ones. Still a very good film, and an excellent way to introduce people who don't know about him to a great role model, a great athlete and world class human.
