Récompensé de quatre médailles d'or lors des Jeux olympiques de Berlin en 1936, sous les yeux d'Adolf Hitler, l'athlète américain Jesse Owens est le premier athlète afro-américain dont le nom est entré dans l'histoire. Lors de l'épreuve du saut en longueur, Jesse Owens a d'ailleurs infligé un camouflet au meilleur représentant allemand, Luz Long. Une photographie marquante montre les deux athlètes concurrents côte à côte, s'adressant un sourire. Avant l'épreuve, Long s'est en effet approché d'Owens, "l'homme à abattre", et est venu spontanément se présenter. Le champion allemand est d'ailleurs le premier à féliciter le vainqueur : il tombe dans les bras de Jesse Owens devant le stade médusé, tandis que le chancelier Adolf Hitler quitte le stade.

The rise of National Socialism in Germany and Hitler’s anti-semitic policies and advocation of the superiority of the Aryan race resulted in several calls for a boycott of the games. Against this political backdrop, Jesse Owens’ haul of four gold medals is all the more significant. For a black athlete to demonstrate clearly his superior athleticism and so convincingly outperform his white counterparts was a massive slap in the face for Hitler and made a mockery of his racist theories during his Nazi showpiece games. Standing in the box at the Olympiastadion where Hitler sat to watch the games, Jesse Owens tells with pride that the flag of the US team was the only one not to be dipped as the athletes passed the Führer.

As the title of this French documentary indicates, Ce Siecle a 50 Ans examines the 20th Century at its halfway point. Utilizing the archives of several European film reserves, director Denise Tua offers a fascinating mosaic of the people and events that shaped the years 1900 to 1950. Complementing the vintage film clips are three dramatized sketches, delineating the romantic customs of three different points in time. These sketches are inadequately performed, and can easily be ignored. Ce Siecle a 50 Ans both preserved and provided celluloid material for scores of future documentaries.
