OVERVIEW

The story of Józef Noji, a Polish runner who rose from poverty to compete at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. His sporting career was marked by records, battles with top competitors such as his legendary rival Janusz Kusociński, and the atmosphere of an Olympics exploited by Nazi propaganda. After the outbreak of World War II, Noji joined the resistance, refused to sign the Volksliste, and endured imprisonment in Pawiak Prison and the Auschwitz concentration camp. This portrait of a forgotten Olympian is a story of sport, resistance and moral courage.
