16 Days of Glory (1985)

The single most inspiring sports film ever created.

Directed by Bud Greenspan4h 45mDocumentary

The definitive photographic record of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, told "from the inside" through the lives of the participants, the words of David Perry, and the singing voice of Placido Domingo. From the opening to closing ceremonies, this unique style of storytelling shows a side of the Olympic Games not seen by television audiences.
