Olympic Pride, American Prejudice | Trailer
Olympic Pride, American Prejudice is set in the strained and turbulent atmosphere of a racially divided 1930's America, torn between boycotting Hitler's Olympics or participating in the Third Reich's grandest affair. The film follows 16 men and two women through their heroic turn at the summer Olympic Games in Berlin, 1936. The athletes represented a country that
considered them second-class citizens and competed in a country that rolled out the red carpet in spite of an undercurrent of Aryan superiority and Anti-Semitism. (2016, Documentary)
