Description

Salute is a documentary film written, directed and produced by Matt Norman. It provides an insight into the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, specifically one incident in particular which saw two US athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, give the black power salute from the victory dias after the 200 metres final.

What is less known about the incident is that the third man on the dias was a white Australian, Peter Norman.

Norman showed support of Smith and Carlos by donning, on his way to the podium, an "Olympic Project for Human Rights" (OPHR) badge. It was also Norman who suggested that Smith and Carlos share the black gloves used in their salute, after Carlos had left his gloves in the Olympic Village. This is the reason for Tommie Smith raising his right fist, while John Carlos raised his left.
