Mighty Jerome

From filmmaker Charles Officer comes the story of the rise, fall and redemption of Harry Jerome, track and field star and one of Canada’s greatest athletes. Jerome’s life and career were riddled with both triumph and tribulation, but he ultimately proved himself a champion both on and off the track. Interviews and archival footage are used to tell the story of what Jerome’s coach, the legendary Bill Bowerman, called “the greatest comeback in track and field history.” Compelling, surprising and urgently paced, Mighty Jerome will electrify sports fans, history buffs and all those with an appreciation for tales of courage and achievement.
