Film About Track GOAT Edwin Moses, Who Used Physics To Outsmart Competition, To Close Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival
A documentary on Edwin Moses, the Olympic champion who set an unbeatable record, will close the Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival.
The two-time Olympic champion in the 400-meter hurdles is expected on campus in Atlanta for the world premiere of Moses – 13 Steps, a documentary about his life on and off the track that will close the 6 th annual Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival. The film, directed by Michael Wech and executive produced by a group including Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary, documents a man who holds a track and field record that may never be broken: For nine years, nine months and nine days Moses went unbeaten in the 400-meter hurdles, between 1977 and 1987. Following the world premiere, Moses – 13 Steps will receive the festival’s Enlightened Lens – Documentary Feature Award, an honor celebrating “films that offer unique perspectives and illuminate subjects that highlight the positive aspects of humanity.”
