SYNOPSYS:
A relay from champion to champion over more than a century. It’s also the story of our collective fascination with speed. The 100m event became a moment of planetary communion behind his Stadium Gods. For the first time an “all star cast” is reunited: Usain Bolt, Tommie Smith, Maurice Greene, Carl Lewis, and even Ben Johnson testify about sprint. From Jesse Owens who faced Hitler in 1936, to Tommie Smith and his legendary first raised at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968. From the Carl Lewis-Ben Johnson duel of the 80s, to the supremacy of Maurice Greene at the 3rd millennium until the Usain Bolt revolution, and its incredible time of 9’58 in 2009.
