Salute - The Peter Norman Story

Running time: 87 mins

Winner ? Audience Award, Sydney Film Festival

?The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.? -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Salute documents the epic strength and wholeheartedness of Australian runner Peter Norman and San Jose athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Each man took part in a historically daring human rights demonstration, heroically protesting for black equality amidst racial discrimination and identifying San Jose as a significant contributor and forerunner in justice during the civil rights movement.
