This month’s film selection on special offer for IFI Explorers is Race, based on the incredible true story of legendary athlete Jesse Owens.His quest to become the greatest track-and-field sportsperson in history puts him on the world stage of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he crosses racial barriers to defy Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy and shows the world that he’s the fastest man alive. A fascinating film about courage, determination, tolerance and friendship. (Notes by Dee Quinlan.)
