\u201cSalute – The Movie\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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 Junior 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 35 years since the event that is \u201cThe civil rights movement\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018Salute\u2026\u201d being written, directed and produced by Peter Norman\u2019s 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 drama that followed in the lives of all three men on that dais.<\/p>\n

This film is personal. It\u2019s 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\u2019s own; A family one\u2026<\/p>\n

To find a truly amazing man you must first know that man from start to finish. This is Peter Norman\u2019s untold story\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter Norman (June 15, 1942 \u2013 October 3, 2006), ‘Tell your kids about Peter Norman’<\/a>, Martin Flanagan, The Age<\/em>, October 10, 2006: “During the Sydney Olympics, a reporter from The Washington Post<\/em> was amazed to find only one reference to Norman \u2014 an image on the side of a house in Redfern. Yesterday’s ceremony included a letter of respect from dual world record holder Michael Johnson and an anecdote relating the deep regard in which Norman was held by long-time 400-metre hurdling champion Edwin Moses. The US Track and Field Federation has declared October 9 Peter Norman Day.”<\/p>\n
