Covers the 3 guys from the 68 Olympics "Black Power" protest.
A fair bit of forgotten history in there, especially the fact the Mexicans killed a few hundred people to keep the population quiet during the event. Not that Australia or the U.S come off looking much better during those days either.
Mainly focuses on the Australian runner and how he got thrown to the dogs for not condemning the other two afterwards despite setting the (still standing) Australian Olympic record. I never really heard of him until he died, and after watching this, that's a huge disservice to him.
