Description
In 1959, at just nineteen years of age, Harry Jerome was Canada's most promising track and field star and on his way to the Olympics in Rome.By 1962, after suffering a gruesome leg injury, there was every reason to think that his racing days were over. But Jerome was not just a champion on the track; he was doubly determined off it. And so began his climb to what his coach, Bill Bowerman, called "the greatest comeback in track and field history." Through years of unparalleled political turbulence, racial conflict, and personal challenges, Harry Jerome kept his head down and ran, displaying strength of character and willful perseverance every bit as impressive as his record-setting athleticism. Filmmaker Charles Officer uses monochrome imagery, impassioned interviews, and archival footage to tell the runner's triumphant story; inspired by the book Running Uphill, The Fast, Short Life of Canadian Champion Harry Jerome by Fil Fraser.
