Olimpiada en México (The Olympics in Mexico)

This film is currently not available.   
The 19th Olympiad's official record. Zilch on Tlatelolco, but Tommie Smith and John Carlos raise their fists in a Black Panther salute, while John Stephen Akhwari finishes the marathon despite a dislocated knee. When official powers try to stop collective change, only individual defiance remains.
