4.0 out of 5 stars Great story... is it all true?, June 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jesse Owens Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am a major fan of Jesse Owens, and this film is definitely for fans. Dorian Harewood portrays Jesse very well, but almost in a god-like perfection. Of course, biographies are supposed to emphasize good qualities, but this film leaves you wondering if Jesse Owens had any bad ones. Still a very good film, and an excellent way to introduce people who don't know about him to a great role model, a great athlete and world class human.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent portrait of an American Hero, January 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Jesse Owens Story (DVD)
I was deeply moved by this film that captures the reality of what one of the greatest of our countrymen went through. Much misunderstood throughout history, but cleared up in this film, Jessie Owens is an example that is just as needed today as ever. We owe a great deal to people that lived when he did, suffered in the North like he did, and paved the way for countless others to follow. His faults are honestly shown here, but we need to remember that when he came to prominence it was not like it is today. He "paid his dues" in full!!!
