Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Powerful stuff, remembering what happened afterwards in America and Australia and also that dozens of Mexican protesters were killed by the police at the time. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The IOC furthers its reputation for frigid pomposity in Matt Norman's documentary about black-power-saluting athletes. Rated: 3/5 Jul 12, 2012 Full Review Ashley Clark Little White Lies A moving and worthwhile tale. Rated: 3/5 Jul 12, 2012 Full Review Amon Warmann CineVue A riveting, eye-opening documentary that, like Norman himself, is undoubtedly worthy of more attention. Rated: 4/5 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) . . . the fact remains that despite death threats and worse, this trio of men had the courage of their convictions and the strength of character to speak out. Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Jennifer Tate ViewLondon Fascinating, well constructed and extremely moving. Rated: 5/5 Jul 11, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Constructive, Matter Of Fact Piece Of Reflection Upon An Unending Issue That Plagues Humanity. It Is Tastefully Done, In A Methodical Manner That Explores Social Justice Issues. Comparisons Are Made On The Current Thinking Of The Time Still Holding Mis-Steps In The Social Airs-&-Graces As Politics Runs Deep Through What Is Touted As An Equal Stage Upon Which All Can Compete Freely. Hopefully Humanity Can Reach A Place Where Social Divides Are Not So Clearly Entwined With Racial Divides, But I Guess This Issue Has A Long While To Run, Considering It Really Has Been Going Since The Dawn Of The Modern Era In Human Conquest. A Difficult Issue To Solve, But Some Steps In The Right Direction Are Taken By Some Unexpected Heroes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A story that should be told to our children and our children's children. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A story about an incredibly decent man... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Frances H Inspiring documentary! Just such a shame that Norman never got to see it premier, or to know that the Australian Parliament had officially apologized to him. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/15 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating stuff, a bit rough around the edges production wise, but Matt Norman's tribute to his father is a captivating watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member My nerd senses sure is tingling...=D Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
