Coach Larry Snyder of Ohio State university discovers a potential protege in Jesse Owens and prepares him for the athletics events in the Olympic games. The 1936 games are hosted by Nazi Germany and it takes a lot of hand wringing for the US Olympic committee to participate therein. Braving the colour discrimination and personal hurdles Jesse goes on to win 4 gold medals for his country. Based in the 1930s, this biopic is very well shot with Stephan James and Jason Sudeikis sliding effortlessly into the roles of Owens and Snyder. This is a must watch!
