Do you have a favorite running movie?
Jesse Owens is one of the biggest names in Olympic track & field history, and a story about the superstar’s quest to be one of the best ever is ripe for dramatization. The plot centers around his growth as a runner in the face of discrimination at home and as the top athlete atthe 1936 Olympics, where Owens shows off his burgeoning talents in Berlin in front of Adolf Hitler and his vision of Aryan supremacy.
This is another one that never hit the big screen, but it’s worth your time if you want to watch what happens when human performance and science work close together to push the boundaries of running. National Geographic’s Breaking2 special follows marathoners, Lelisa Desisa, and Zersenay Tadese on their quest ot break the 2-hour-marathon barrier in 2017 along with a team of scientists from Nike.
