I'm Carl Lewis! plot

Carl Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals and was considered the greatest athlete of his generation. But behind the records lay a complex personality: ambitious, outspoken, and resistant to categorization. He was both celebrated and controversial, and changed the world of athletics forever. This documentary delves deeply into the life of an icon who refused to conform.

Carl Lewis made an international name for himself by following in the footsteps of his athletic hero Jesse Owens. He won the 100 meters, the 200 meters, the relay, and the long jump at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. But because of his bravado and "lack of modesty," the flamboyant, headstrong Lewis didn't receive the respect he deserved in his home country. Lewis reflects on the highs and lows of his career, highlighting the titanic battle against Canadian Ben Johnson at the 1988 Olympics and a duel with long jumper Mike Powell. Nike founder Phil Knight reminds us that Carl Lewis revolutionized the approach to elite sport. Anderson and Hay also emphasize how Lewis shattered racist stereotypes and became a role model for a new generation of elite athletes.
