Join us for a special preview screening of SALUTE, followed by Q&A with director Matt Norman.
SALUTE is a journey back to the 1960's and beyond, to examine what has now become one of the most famous Olympic moments in history.
The timing of the Mexico Olympics was notorious for so many reasons: The Soviet Union had invaded Czechoslovakia prior to the games, there were mass killings of Mexicans during student protests, Vietnam was turning America against itself and the assassination of Robert Kennedy Jr. & Martin Luther King Jr. were still fresh in everybody’s mind. Sports and politics were destined to meet at the 1968 games. When they eventually did, nobody expected an Australian to become involved.
SALUTE is written, directed and produced by Matt Norman, the nephew of that man: Peter Norman. The hit of the Sydney Film Festival, SALUTE is a fascinating insight into the Mexico Olympics as well as the drama that followed the three men who shook the world when a ‘Black Power’ salute was made atop the medal-winner dais in front of the world. This is the story of the unknown Australian hero Peter Norman. |
