I wonder how much the movie covers the relationship between Jesse and Luz Long, his German opponent.
Owens took gold in the 1936 long jump, Long silver, and Japan's Naoto Tajima took the bronze in the long jump. It was probably the first time a white, a black, and an Asian stood together on an Olympic stand; diversity in front of Hitler, long before diversity was cool. Later, Tajima took gold in the triple jump, where Long ended 10th, and Owens was not entered.
Afterward, Owens spent WWII supervising factory workers in Detroit; Tajima spent WWII supervising coal miners in Hokkaido; Long died fighting for the Wehrmacht in Sicily.
