MOSES - 13 STEPS

In the organizer's words:

Documentary - D 2024 - 105' - OmU

Director: Michael Wech

The numbers are unique: 122 races won in a row, nine years, nine months and nine days unbeaten. Rarely has a sport been so dominated as Edwin Moses' 400m hurdles race in the 1980s. But Michael Wech's dynamic documentary not only celebrates the athlete, but also the tinkerer, the activist and the representative of the African-American civil rights movement. No wonder that Hollywood legends such as Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee and executive producer Morgan Freeman pay well-deserved tribute to their idol.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
