American Corner Pristina will screen the movie “Race” in the month known as Black History Month, which is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and recognitions of their contributions to American history.

This movie features the incredible true story of Olympic legend: Jesse Owens. In his epic quest to be the greatest athlete in history, Owens (Stephan James, Selma) chooses to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he must overcome not only elite competition, but also the brutal racial climate of Adolf Hitler’s Germany.

The event will start with Jane Winsett who will present on Black History Month and she will also lead the discussion for the movie “Race”.
