[OdinsEyeEnt]

Proud to be the 100,000 view of this amazing film!

[beatlefjvu3]

Fue muy significativo también para los mexicanos esta protesta sobre todo por lo que había pasado el 2 de octubre de 1968...

[BigFishVideos01]

i got to meet Mr Norman today (Matt norman) he came to our school and had a talk, he is a very inspiring man

[NelsonChurchillMonty]

I don't mean to hate or offend, I'm a white person living in the United Kingdom. May I just ask any blacks. Is it right that I cannot scream "WHITE POWER" at the top of my voice for fear of being deemed a racist? If God created all men equal, shouldn't whites be entitled to the same freedom of speech and passage that blacks should? Now I understand if you hate what people of my colour have done to people of your colour... But is it fair that blacks can have pride while we can't?

[shiznaziboodles]

I didn't get any racist vibes from what those two did. Then again, I don't drink the M$M's kool aid about these men. What they did was NEVER about racial supremacy or enthocentrism. It was about achieving equal distribution of power in a country where power was exclusive to whites. It was a call for unity among blacks across the world. Basically it was about human rights.

[ambulanza]

salute to the three heroes that gave up their professional lives to show what it means the word "courage".

[ps3gamerrox]

wow what peter did was amazing, he stood up and did the right thing knowing that what he was standing up for did not affect him or his family,he fought against racist scum....Peter Norman was and will remain a true legend...his legacy will continue on forever....

[savantkid]

i have tried to get this film,, can you download it on you tube please

[kjahmarley]

i never knew who peter norman was until i watched this movie and i am australian and i find that sad that me being an athlete i didnt know who australians fastest sprinter was until now

[MegaLeonilde]

Down with racism!!!

[armojobrofreak]

I hate racism it dont matter if were black white or anything other than that were all borthers and sisters!!!

[AndyInsuasti]

Im totally proud of this act. Totally touched by these actittudes, and the support od Norman. The three were brave men, who want to show the terrible facts of racism.

[Deejay1234566]

Whats da name of the background music I wonder

[MrNaughty101]

Wow that is so Insane! I can't believe it!.... how did a white dude medal in a track event?

[Trakenstein]

Amazing!!

[ajay999999]

Is this film avaible on DVD?

Cant find it anywhewre.

[mbarr66]

I teach a course titled "From Civil Rights to Black Power" how can I purchase this film?

[megosalexendre]

A big thanx to all of you who fought for rights and justic while your own life was so hard. To all of you, black, brown, yellow or white, rich or poor, thank you.

[rellama1]

they didnt lose at all, they rattled some white asses

[Gahuna1]

HAHA I love it

[browneyedmut]

i want to see this!

[akugemini]

These men are great.And not great just because they fought against racialism,because they understood what it took to overcome it and how they could fight for it! we all have to face discrimination some time or the other.Don't we all make fun of the geek in our class? or the girl whose not so pretty?

But we need to draw inspiration from such people and realise that we are all equals in this world,and deserve to be treated as equals!

Hail Tommy Smith,John Carlos and Peter Norman! :)

[moondogjack1978]

Even if Peter Norman had been forgotten by his country he was remembered by the ones with whom he stood side by side. He was not only a champion at track but a champion for human rights. Thank you Matt for bringing his story to the world.

[RealLoveAgain]

simply AMAZING!!!!!!!

[SkriptCHAz]

i salute you peter norman, aussie hero, to stand up when its not your fight... thats a bloody legend.

you will be missed...

[SkriptCHAz]

Peter Norman is a legend... and a real aussie hero... will be missed

[nali1234]

Tommie Smith and John Carlos I salute you

[gnarkillkicksass]

And Peter Norman!

[peplos14]

I HATE RACISM...

I HATE THIS FUCKING NAZI SCUM

why do they hate people only because theyre "diffrent"?

I think everyone has the right to live here on earth isnt it like that?

Why cant they just learn out of big mistakes which did some stupid motherfuckers before?

[gnarkillkicksass]

Hi Matt been hanging out to watch this, I'd like to buy it where abouts can I get it in Queensland? Great to see the story is getting out there.

Well done.

[marcelocmatos1982]

Quando este filme será lançado em português ou no Brasil? Quero muito assistí-lo!

[camhirtle]

One of the greatest moments in human history.

[22161548]

BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[statiicshock]

this has nothing to do what race nor does it have anything to do with black power. Tommie Smith and John Carlos demonstration represented a change that was needed during that time. They wanted equality, peace, and for all forms of race to unit. Smith and Carlos are significant individuals who have contributed to our history and should be respected.

[firmeza9]

for a decade and a half as a world class sprinter, and for two decades afterward, i longed to see this historic moment. ask yourselves how much effort was made to keep it from us. the internet is delivering us away from evil...

[teamwomp1984]

simon black? or luke power? i didnt see any brissie lions on this video,,,wierd....

[Msmothernature1]

I remember watching this on TV in -68. It was kind of shocking back then, but I loved it . This demonstration was so powerful and courageous.

[MaCPendi]

Hello Mr. Matt Norman,

Thank you for such a historical movie like this, we need to keep this historical events in history to our future generations.... i would like to order a dvd, please let me know how i can get it. Am from Africa, now living in europe, so i know what this movie and the actions of your uncle and these 2 men mean to me....

Again thank u, and God bless......

[englishman1960]

yes they were damn good blokes.

[Orion1232]

It's one thing to stand up in the face of adversity, it's another to take a stand for those oppressed.

Peter Norman = Hero

[kissmyARToxo]

is this movie available on dvd?

[kissmyARToxo]

its so sad that peter norman was also ostracized by his nations public because of his support for these men and his objection to the white australain policy.

[sivan1208]

USA takes the gold and the silver- well done

[IgnatiusBoi]

i wanna cry wen i c dis BLACK POWER!!

[matarikistar]

That was the time when American citizens are divided based on skin color. A real shame to the society that discriminate on the others!!

[essertpitay]

Those guys were brave...When was the movie released ?

[Joeybagadounuts08]

check out a new painting of mine "Barack Power Painting". I support the all oppressed people black and white.  Obama is the new oppressor.

[benssaf]

black power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sorenbraybrook]

Yes!

[othnigeyano]

come on man,racism is stupid!

[kingdavid713]

where can i get this movie?

[mrpopos]

Let the man be proud about who he is and have peace with himself

[dave4248]

Why were people so upset? Even if you didn't agree with these men, they didn't hurt anyone. They didn't destroy property or wipe their ass with the flag. Their protest was peaceful and respectful.

[Metsrule08]

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT

but things were diffrent back then

[BrownSugarcaine]

@dave4248

cuz they won the gold and silver medal...and they r black...so the "white" government had something to do...they can´t win it and show they world their triumph with the black power salute...that was like a deep punch for the white USA...but nowadayz the USA is talking about human rights in irak and afghanistan and we should forget the last 400yrs...

[ClassValedictorian]

they won gold and bronze.

[SafetyKap]

@dave4248 - even if they "wipe[d] their ass[es] with the flag," I would support their right to do so. I didn't spend time in uniform so that freedoms could be taken away because what someone had to say (or how they said it) was "disturbing" or "offensive" to others.

Don't like it? Don't listen, or look. America is advanced citizenship; too bad for whiny punks who think that a raised fist is scary.

[TheUsmc7211]

@dave4248 During the olypimcs it is said to leave politics at home. This is the time where people compete and the world unites.

[navyman4]

My white roomate is like, "Why did they make a big deal out of it?" Racism was about to end anyway.

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH stupid redneck!

[jemmabond]

First of all, racism is still very much around, although not as much as before. Second of all, even if racism was "about to end", a lot of people still had to suffer.

[sherri3]

Absoultely amazing. What courage these men had.. BLACK POWER!

[mayebella]

This looks great! How would I be able to watch this?

[jcama24451]

if you're ever in san jose, ca check out their statue at san jose state university.

[tristanauspride]

a white man from australia! so dont view all white people as rednecks...

[kymjackson]

Such a powerful story... This will mean so much to so many people - I can't wait to see it!

[ophGR]

One of the most powerful moments in modern history!

[koookeee]

An unforgettable gesture and one of the most impressive peaceful statements for human rights in the last century. This moment of bravery and resolution will never be stolen from our hearts. And a slap in the face of all greedy IOC members who would make us believe that there is no place for human rights and the freedom of speech in international sports. It saddens me that none of this bravery was displayed in Beijing ...

[hughsayshi]

I learnt about this the other day in history and i was totally inspired the way he rose his hand was the most awesome thing i have seen in my entire life thank you for this upload iam buying this dvd

[jemmabond]

Peter Norman was quite a dish in his time!

[jemmabond]

Dear Peter,

My father was an African student in London during 1968, and he told about that historical event. But he was unaware of your little gesture that made a great difference. Shame on those who ostracised you soon after. I was saddened to hear about your death, but I'm also glad because your reward is in heaven - this world is too evil and prejudiced for a nice person like you. And I thank God for blessing you with a nephew like Matt.

Rest in peace, Pete.

Love,

jemmabond X

[salutethemovie]

Hi Jemmabond, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Very much appreciated. Love Matt Norman.

[uniquess]

This is a great Documentary!!!!! This is a part of History - OUR HISTORY !!!! I've seen the series in parts but I WANT A COPY!

Where can I purchase it?

Thank You for the post

[RowanDragon]

WOW yo quiero ver ese documental!!! No entiendo por que la gente hace tantas diferencias y porque se espantan de una protesta tan inteligente y pacífica ellos ganaron la comptencia y fueron respetuosos del espíritu olimpico, y con sus ideales.

Ojala traigan a México este dpcumental.

[rich1913434]

outrageous that the aussies didn't recognise this man and let him sprint for them in the following games, as far as i can see he did nothing wrong

[dazzadidja]

cause he supported black people, including aboriginal people, did you know south africa got it's aparthied laws of Australia.. now you know what sort of people peter norman was up against..

[hysteria7796]

God made all colours of ppl, it is really sad that all ppl cant see that. We are Gods rainbow. He made everyone of us unique and no race is above another in Gods eyes. Jesus died for all not for some. Hate sux. Jesus can change the hate to love.

Peace and love to you..

sorry.. didnt mean to preach there!

God bless :)

[patomalley55]

As an Australian Citizen I am appalled at the treatment Peter Normannhas faced and I was disgusted to learn of his treatment at being left out of the 2000 olympics ceremony.

A great moment and a greater man. Would love to see the film in its entirety.

[dazzadidja]

yeah great film and it blow you away how they all were treated.. so sad..

[jemmabond]

Are you serious? He was excluded from Sydney 2000?

[candireign1]

I agree to the lifting of their ban too. It is outrageous that it is still in effect, knowing what our ancestors have went through. Our land robbed (so called america), women raped, people beaten, enslaved, killed for reading books and we were the ones that agreed to sharing our land and government with these clowns, called Caucasian/Caucazoids and we can't get a funky ban lifted!!! The revolution must be televised.

[romney4566]

WOW!

[sunjaroo]

has this film been released in the UK yet? there was something on the BBC not too long ago about the salute but i never got to see it.

It looks like something i definately want to watch, also looking forward to 'hunger' the new film about bobby sands

[BeccaShakur]

Their ban should be lifted, is it?

[salutethemovie]

Hi there,

No their ban has never been lifted. I'm working on a few things for this to happen though. Thanks for the comment. Matt Norman.

[BeccaShakur]

if ever you get a petition started, or anything of the sort, count me in

[salutethemovie]

I wanted to leave this comment here because I wanted to show how weak and cowardly people are in history. This is a great example of the dirty scum racist pigs that are in this world. This person mennea is what I call a coward and someone who lives in denial. If you were actually educated you'd know that everything you've just said is completely wrong. But with this type of message I'd say you probably find it hard to do up your shoe laces let alone educate yourself on reality. :)

[barbados44]

BLACK POWER

[Caduenas]

where can I get the movie LEGALLY in the United States?

[salutethemovie]

Hi there, the film should be coming to your country soon. After a theatrical release the film WILL be available to purchase on DVD. Thanks for the email. Matt.

[Caduenas]

oh ok, I didn't realize there hadn't been a theatrical release yet. Thanks for the prompt response.

[lowmazda626]

Right place, right time, right action.

[kondurperufour]

Those guys are legends

[shackleton555]

i CANNOT wait to see this documentary! the image has been burned in my brain for years and the picture itself gives me chills. i have watched this trailer NUMEROUS times, it's truly powerful! it gives me chills and i love how you presented your uncle!! it shows there were 3 men and not 2 for HUMAN RIGHTS! brilliant. That image is SOOOO inspiring. I am truly grateful for what those 3 men did, we need more heroes like that. when is this coming to the US?

[tomloft2000]

Peter Norman was the "forgotten" man on the podium.he along with Smith and Carlos were not being disrespecful,but rather calling attention to policies they saw as inherently wrong.

[Zokko59]

Thanks for sharing this! Just read about the entire story and it brought tears into my eyes. Hopefully the movie comes to Germany as soon as possible, in which way ever. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[salutethemovie]

thank you zokko I appreciate the support. I'm doing everything I can to get it to your country.

[salutethemovie]

some people don't like the truth i'm afraid. There wasn't just two black men standing up for human rights but what makes this story so powerful is the white guy (my uncle) who stood up as well. Know-one bothered to hear his story until now. The film is certainly winning a lot of audience praise here in Australia and I know it did really well at the Rhode Island Film festival last week so the more people get out and talk about it the better it will be. Thanks for the support. Matt.

[djmdmausa]

What?!? This is really quality, inspiring and powerful, based on true events,ect. What is wrong with them? Thats terrible :( This should win somthing somewhere I can tell its great, just this trailer is increadable.

[djmdmausa]

sundace film fest winner for sure!

[salutethemovie]

you wouldn't believe it but Sundance didn't want to see the film at the festival when we sent it to them. Go figure???

[arjunaraz]

Wow Inspirational, Norman Senior sounds like a very noble man too can the DVD be purchased anywhere? Im in OZ

Cheeers

[sheepurple]

can somebody tell me if and if so when it´s coming out in germany??

i´d really love to see it...

[salutethemovie]

Hi there, the film is currently looking for an international distributor. Germany will certainly be on the cards for a release sometime this year. THanks for your comment.

[lorax009]

Can't wait to see the movie. All i've heard has been great. I knew Peter and whenever he talked to you his eyes smiled at you and he managed to make you feel welcome every time. It was a real privilege to know him.

[kevinherbert]

Good on you Matt Norman...great story well told.

[salutethemovie]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm so happy that people that go see the film come out wanting to know more about my uncle Peter Norman and the sacrifices he made and the true champion he was.

[kevinherbert]

Matt: is it available on DVD yet?

[MMadders]

saw a bbc movie about it the other night its some story.

[salutethemovie]

Unfortunately like all stories done on this event, the BBC got it completely wrong AGAIN. This film "SALUTE" is the only film ever to get all three of the men together to tell what really happened and not what people think happened.

[MMadders]

well thats true but the BBC film was only an hour long and it was just made to tell the story of the americian movement

[highhurdles]

Thank you. I was a high school teammate of Larry James so I watched intently, what would happen at the 4x400 medal ceremony? I was unaware, until today, of Peter Norman's participation. It is difficult, today, to comprehend the courage it took, back then. Not surprising that the press downplayed the participation of a 'gray-boy'(FAST white boy,[slang] nyc,circa '65-'68). I had goose-bumps watching it, and tears while typing. Your perseverance is appreciated.

[IppiZ]

cool
