Race (Rated-PG 13)  
Jesse Owens is an America icon who overcame American racism and international rejection through his athletic ability. This film is based on the life of track star, Olympic champion Jesse Owens and his triumph over hate.

The film is also strong on historical context and the social political issues of that time. The name of the movie takes on two meanings as the movie is about Owens winning many races but it also talks about the conflict of race in the 1930s very honestly. 

This is a great film for the entire family and another great example of strength, love and courage, overcoming hate. 

Expect to be entertained and educated at the same time!
