Duck, a biographical film about the famous black athlete Jesse Owens, will be released next year, when it will also be 80 years since the Summer Olympics in Berlin (1936). These were the last Olympic Games before the lull in the war and the games marked by this famous American athlete who competed in the sprint and long jump. With his performances, he disproved the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, which had been bubbling under the cover of Nazi Germany for several years at that time. The film was also supported by his family and the Jesse Owens Foundation, which helps young athletes and is run by his three daughters.
Ducks is the first biographical sports drama about Jesse Owens, and a relatively unknown person stepped into his (sports) shoes Stephen James (Selma). They make his company famous Jeremy Irons, (Kingdom of Heaven), William Hurt (In the wild), Jason Sudeikis (How to get rid of the boss?) and Carice van Houten (Valkira), and he signed the film Stephen Hopkins (Suspects, Predator 2).

It is a poignant tale of an athlete, a descendant of slaves, who is transcended racial prejudice and records and set sporting milestones with the longest tenure. In 1936, he was at the Olympic Games set as many as three world records in less than an hour and also chased the fourth. It is an event that went down in the history of sports as the most beautiful 45 minutes in sports history and which is still considered an unrepeatable achievement today, even with athletes like Usain Bolt.
