Welcome to SALUTE-THE MOVIE on YOUTUBE. My name is Matt Norman (Director). I am the nephew of Olympic 200m Silver medalist Peter Norman who tragically passed away in October 2006. Peter Norman was involved in one of Histories 20 most popular images of the 21st Century, where Tommie Smith and John Carlos stood on the 200 meter medal dais giving what is now called the "Black Power Salute". As a film-maker I started this journey to find out the truth of what happened on that day. What I've come to find is that the world we live in today is demanding attention toward racial, civil and human rights tragedy's that most of us now take for granted. We live in a fiercely cruel world and just like the problems of global warming, health care, gun control etc, we should also seriously look at the way we treat each other and the billions of people that live side by side on this lonely planet. Before the release of the film SALUTE in early 2008, I would like to give those of you with thoughts on Racism, Civil and Human rights the opportunity to share your thoughts to the World. Salute is a very powerful film with a very powerful message. By taking this very simple step of voicing your thoughts on these issues, maybe.... MAYBE we could all stop and think about what we are doing to each other. We seem to live in some kind of bubble and don't recognize the true meaning of what it is to be alive.Post, write or videotape messages with passion. The more attention this subject gets the more you can help change the world we live in.More info about the film can be found at www.salutethemovie.comThanks all.
