Gateway Film Foundation is proud to unveil its Black History Month 2025 program, a thoughtfully curated selection of films which honor the rich tapestry of Black experiences and showcase the talents of groundbreaking filmmakers.
The 2025 edition of our Black History Month Program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Larry and Donna James and the Kridler Family Fund, as well as the ongoing support of the Greater Columbus Arts Council, The Ohio Arts Council, the Columbus Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Young Jesse Owens (Stephan James) becomes a track and field sensation while attending The Ohio State University in the early 1930s. With guidance from coach Larry Snyder (Jason Sudeikis), Owens gains national recognition for breaking numerous records. After heated debates, the United States decides not to boycott the Olympics in Nazi Germany. Overcoming racism at home and abroad, Owens seizes the opportunity to show Berlin and the the world that he’s the fastest man alive.
