Salute - UK film premiere

The picture of the three men on the winner’s podium after the men’s 200 meters final at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics is still considered one of the most powerful images in modern history.

Salute tells the true story behind this iconic image, the story of American athletes Tommie Smith, John Carlos and the Australian silver medallist Peter Norman - three Olympic competitors who, in one peaceful but inflammatory moment of political protest as they received their medals on the podium, would destroy their sporting careers and become a seminal and enduring symbol of the Civil Rights struggle.

The film stars: Christopher Kirby, Bob Beamon, Ralph Boston

... but the big question is which of the stars will turn out on the day?

Stars confirmed to attend:
Tommie Smith (Legendary Gold Medallist 200m runner at the 1968 Mexico Olympics), Tessa Sanderson, Naomi Campbell, Dwain Chambers (Olympic Athlete), Jody and Bayo Furlong, Trevor Philips (Chairman of the Human Rights Commission), Lenora Crichlow, Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan, Ed Moses, Tinie Tempah, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Garth Crooks, Paul Elliot, Christian Malcolm, Darren Campbell, John Regis, Natasha Danvers, Baroness Meral Ecce, Baroness Ros Howels, Tom Watson MP, Chucka Umuna MP, Sam Gymiah MP
