This feat made him arguably one of the greatest and most impactful athletes of all time. &#8220;Triumph: Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics&#8221; will explore the dramatic tale of Owen&#8217;s athletic dedication, perseverance, and triumph over Hitler&#8217;s Aryan supremacy agenda and his resilience against racism both abroad and at home in the U.S. The documentary will also feature archival Olympic footage and interviews from Owens, smartly executed animation and first-hand interviews from family members, journalists, historians, and reputable athletes including 9x Olympic Gold Medalist Carl Lewis, and Owen&#8217;s daughters Marlene and Beverly Owens, among others.<\/p><div id=\"morty-604915912\" class=\"morty-content\"><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><em>&#8220;Triumph: Jesse Owens and the Berlin Olympics&#8221;<\/em> is inspired by the book <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ULrwCZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler&#8217;s Olympics&#8221;<\/a> by Jeremy Schapp and produced for The HISTORY\u00ae Channel by UNINTERRUPTED and Cinemation Studios in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
