SALUTE - INTERNATIONAL TRAILER

“Salute - The Movie” 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 1968 Mexico Olympics was notorious for so many reasons. When The Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia prior to the games, as well as the mass killings of Mexican Students during the Student protests, Vietnam, the Assassination of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, sports and politics were destined to meet. The American outcry followed by complaints of unfair high-altitude, proved to be just the beginning. Nevertheless, America could never have foreseen the dramatic momentum that has prevailed over 40 years since the event that is “The civil rights movement”.

‘Salute…” being written, directed and produced by Peter Norman’s Film Director nephew Matt Norman, promises to be a fascinating and exclusive insight into the drama that was the Mexico Olympics, as well as the that followed in the lives of all three men on that dais.

This film is personal. It’s about three men that consider themselves brothers for life. Matt Norman has been welcomed into this acceptance of brotherhood with both Tommie Smith and John Carlos which gives this film a truth all of it’s own; A family one…

To find a truly amazing man you must first know that man from start to finish. This is Peter Norman’s untold story…..
