They represented a country that considered them second class citizens and competed in a country that rolled out the red carpet in spite of an undercurrent of Aryan superiority and anti-Semitism.\u2028\u2028They were world heroes yet returned home to a short-lived glory. This story is a vital part of history and is as relevant today as it was almost 80 years ago.\u2028 The film is produced by Coffee Bluff Pictures (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.coffeebluffpictures.com\/\u0022\u003Ewww.coffeebluffpictures\u003C\/a\u003E).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPanel After the Film:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Dr. Johnny Smith, sport historian, School of History and Sociology, Georgia Tech;\u0026nbsp;Dr. Greg Zinman, film scholar, School of Literature, Media and Communication, Georgia Tech;\u0026nbsp;Deborah Riley\u0026nbsp;Draper, filmmaker,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EOlympic Pride, American Prejudice;\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;Moderator: Mary McDonald, Homer C.
