COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The tale weaves together two stories. The first follows the team of young men and the hardships they faced attempting to scrimp and save their way to get through college following the fallout of the Great Depression. It also follows their interpersonal challenges of coming together as a team. The second part of the story is that of the rise of Nazi Germany as Hitler uses the Olympic Games as another pedestal hoping to outshine the world.
