Directed by Chris Eyre (Cheyenne and Arapaho), the project will showcase the life and legacy of the United States&#8217; first Native American Olympic gold medalist and explore what it means to be American through the pivotal intersection of identity and sport. The forthcoming third documentary will be announced at a later date. The first two documentaries are produced for The HISTORY Channel by UNINTERRUPTED, the athlete empowerment brand within The SpringHill Company, and Cinemation Studios in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment on &#8220;<em>Triumph: Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics<\/em>&#8221; (w.t.) and INE Entertainment, Five All in the Fifth, and GroupM Motion Entertainment on &#8220;Jim Thorpe&#8221; (w.t.).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The SpringHill Company was created to tell important stories and, through this partnership with The HISTORY Channel, we&#8217;re able to do that on a whole new level,&#8221; said LeBron James. &#8220;With these documentaries, we want to share those meaningful moments and figures in history that matter with a whole new generation and continue to empower and inspire through storytelling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LeBron and The SpringHill Company have been steadfast creative partners with The HISTORY Channel and we are excited to team up with them again to expand our storytelling footprint,&#8221; said Lehrer. &#8220;Together, we are committed to shining a light on diverse narratives that broaden our view of the world, enrich our knowledge of society, and cultivate a new generation of history lovers. Jesse Owens is the perfect sports legend to highlight next in our partnership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The setting is the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, which is overpowered by the politically charged backdrop of swastikas, racial discrimination, and goose-stepping stormtroopers. Three years before the start of WWII, African American track and field athlete Jesse Owens took the world stage and launched into international fame by making Olympic history after winning four gold medals in the 100-meter dash, long jump, 200-meter dash, and 4&#215;100-meter dash. This feat made him arguably one of the greatest and most impactful athletes of all time. &#8220;<em>Triumph: Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics<\/em>&#8221; (w.t.) will explore the dramatic tale of Owen&#8217;s athletic dedication, perseverance, and triumph over Hitler&#8217;s Aryan supremacy agenda. The documentary will also feature archival footage, smartly executed animation and first-hand interviews from family members, journalists, historians, and reputable athletes including former track and field athlete Carl Lewis, American sprinters Noah Lyles, Erriyon Knighton, and Christian Coleman, and Owen&#8217;s daughters Marlene and Beverly Owens, among others.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2977349872\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Triumph: Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics<\/em>&#8221; (w.t.) is produced for The HISTORY\u00ae Channel by UNINTERRUPTED and Cinemation Studios in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
