Jesse Owens – Gold Medal Hero – OFFICAL TRAILER 2
The Incredible Journey
James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens grew up in a poor, small town in Alabama in the early 1900s, where he faced racial discrimination and health issues. Despite these challenges, Owens' Christian family believed in a better future. When he was nine, they moved to Cleveland, Ohio, seeking better opportunities. In Cleveland, Owens excelled in school sports, setting national high school records in track events. He later attended Ohio State University, where he continued to shine as an athlete.
In 1935, despite an injury, Owens achieved remarkable success, setting multiple world records. His athletic prowess earned him a place in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, held under the Nazi regime. Owens' stunning performances at the Olympics, winning four gold medals, defied Nazi propaganda and made him a global icon.
