Some answers given by students

This film is about a man that dreams to be an important person in the world and at the end he becomes a famous athlete.
The film talks about a black man, named Jesse Owens who loves running. He trains a lot to participate in the Olympic games in Berlin, followed by his coach, but since he is black he has problems in participating in the Olympics, but in the end he is able to participate and wins four gold medals.

The theme is the racism in Germany when Hitler ruled in the 1930s'

The theme is that German people didn't want him because he was black and they were envious because he was very fast

The action takes place before the Second World War

The action takes place before in the USA and then in Berlin

The main characters are Jesse Owens, his wife and his coach

I like this film because racism is still a problem in the lives of many people

I agree with the theme of the film because I hate racism 

I agree because it means that you mustn't judge a book by its cover

Specifically I liked when Owens won the gold medal after lots of attempts in the long jump

 Specifically I liked his power to do what he liked

The actors did a good job, especially the one who played the role of Jesse Owens
