Film synopsis
Salute is a feature length documentary that follows Peter Normans involvement in the black power salute at the 1968 Olympics. This salute is one of the most famous images of the 20th Century. Peter Norman was the silver medallist in the 200m final and part of the iconic silent protest of Tommie Smith and John Carlos.
Peter was not simply an unaware bystander to this famous moment in history but an active supporter, not just of the events of the day but of the sentiment behind it. Salute documents for the first time the role a white man from Australia had in an important symbolic moment in the American Civil Rights Movement.
Digital Pictures worked with Matt by formatting an assortment of archival material including newspapers and news footage for both HD and SD purposes. We also delivered DI mastering, Reality grading and 35mm Digital Intermediate.
