The iconic image of Tommie Smith and John Carlos standing on the podium of the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City with their fists raised and their heads bowed has worldwide recognition. The filmmakers Glenn Kaino and Afshin Shahidi partner with Olympic Gold medalist Tommie Smith as he looks back 50 years to the moment that helped define a movement and changed the course of his life forever.

Come for the movie — and stay for the conversation, led this month by screenwriter David Grant. These conversations at the Capri on the Northside are always thoughtful and rich. Plan to stay.
We’ll have popcorn, candy and beverages for sale this year, too!
