Salute

#1 Post by Beate » Mon Jun 25, 2012 1:53 pm

To see a trailer or rate this film, please click here »



Directed by Matt Norman
Starring: Christopher Kirby, Bob Beamon and Ralph Boston

Plot: The black power salute at the 1968 Mexico Olympics was an iconic moment in the US civil rights movement. What part did the white Australian who ran second play and what price did these athletes p*y for standing up for their beliefs?

I briefly studied the Black Power Movement in History this year and the photograph from which the film was based was featured in one of my textbooks. I'm very much looking forward to the film.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

DVD is being released on 30th July

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"


A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Does seem a very quick release to dvd.
Well, at least I won't have to b*y it as I'll see it for free. o/ Plus, I much prefer to see films in the cinema rather than tv.

I have tickets for this tomorrow and just watched the trailer to check whether it was worth me getting out of my way; I have to say I am rather intrigued now. From the trailer it looks like they are saying the White Aussie guy is taking a stand for Human Rights! Eh?
Really looking forward to watching it now!
