RACE Announced for June 28 Library Release

Follow Jesse Owens on his journey to the remarkable 1936 Berlin Olympics in RACE, arriving on 
Blu-ray and DVD on June 28, 2016 for Public Libraries, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The riveting biographical sports drama about athlete Jesse Owens, who won a record-breaking four Olympic gold medals, is an uplifting depiction of the track and field sensation's struggles and triumphs.

RACE on Blu-ray and DVD features a revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and insightful commentary from Owen's three daughters who collaborated with filmmakers to accurately portray their father's remarkable journey.

The incredible true story of Olympic legend Jesse Owens is vividly brought to life in RACE. 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. Also starring Jason Sudekis (We're the Millers) and Academy Award® winners Jeremy Irons and William Hurt, RACE is a film about courage, determination, tolerance, friendship and trust.
