Scénarisation: Charles Officer
In 1959, at just nineteen years of age, Harry Jerome was Canada’smost
promising track and field star and he was on his way to the Olympics in
Rome. By 1962, after suffering a gruesome leg injury, there was every reason
to think that his racing days were over. But Jerome was not just a champion on
the track; he was doubly determined off it. And so began his climb to what his
coach, the legendary Bill Bowerman, called “the greatest comeback in track and
field history.”
Through years of unparalleled political turbulence, racial conflict and
his own personal challenges, Harry Jerome kept his head down and ran,
displaying strength of character and willful perseverance every bit as
impressive as his record-setting athleticism.
Filmmaker Charles Officer uses gorgeous monochrome imagery, impassioned
interviews and astonishing archival footage to tell the runner’s triumphant
story, from his early days in North Vancouver, through his three Olympics and
his unequalled streak of records, to his sudden and tragically premature
death. Family, friends and teammates recall a man who forever changed the
Canadian sports landscape and made an indelible mark upon the world.
Compelling, surprising and urgently paced, Mighty Jerome
will electrify sports fans, history buffs and all those with an appreciation
for tales of courage and redemption.
Inspired by the book Running Uphill, The Fast, Short Life of Canadian
Champion Harry Jerome by Fil Fraser.
