I always remember Wilma Rudolph. I was a young girl during the olympics, when I saw Wilma she got me. This was in Germany. She fascinated me, her strengths willpower and this black young woman. I was always glad when the blacks won. My teachers couldn't understand me why I was so excited when the black sportsman was winning. I knew why and still do.
As a kid anytime I watch a soccer game on tv. I root for the black player and I always want him to play good and each time that player looses the ball it hurts me. lol 😂 I still like to see them fo good so we both on the same boat I think
Such an incredible piece of history and film. It was an honor to get to see this wonderful part of our lives and the beginning of Denzel Washington 's career. Thank you so very much.
🙋🏾♀️ remember this story my mama told me about the story I’ve seen several movies about Wilma. I grew up in the original black panther party. We talked about her. I am so proud these elders, black people who pave the way for me and all of us. I always think that and I always contacted myself in a positive way because of the, if it wasn’t for these black trailblazers we wouldn’t be who we are in doing what we doing black people in 2024. Thank you Wilma. We love you and always proud of you”🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 R.I.P,
Wooow. My teacher showed us this in the middle school library back in the day. (RIP Mrs Penny DeBerry). Its a delight rewatching it. "Sorry coach," and our star is born! ❤
Thank you for this film, from which lesson can be learnt: like listening & tenacity & loyal love. And Thanks to Denzel Washington for true commentary of other film Gladiator 2 that (a) Absolute power corrupts & (b) History Repeats itself if not learnt from it. May God bless you all.
Great Documentary great cast 🙏 Changes things. God is Awesome And worthy to be praised!!! These typed Of movies should be part of schools History and curriculum and added to ALL SCHOOL. WILMAS ADVERSITY TO A VICTORY 😍😍💜💜🙏 💎 😇 AMERICA YOU WILL NOT FORGET THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MY PEOPLE
Love and much respect for William Rudolph, read and knew about her in books, she's the main reason I ran track in high school, and enjoy running and jogging.
Saw this movie when it initially aired on NBC decades ago and thought Denzel was so cute and wondered if I'd ever see him again. Few yrs later saw this guy on TV show St. Elsewhere but didn't connect him to Wilma for a few years just thought he was a cute actor. Never dreamed he became as huge as he has. "Carbon Copy" was also a cute early film of his too.
Thank you for sharing Wilma. It was both educational and informative. I thought Carbon Copy was Denzel Washington's first movie, and I believed that I had seen them all until I came across this one that my 53 years+ memory could not recall.👍🏾
🙋🏾♀️ she wrote a book you notice when she won they wouldn’t friend me to the black Americans back then, like they are now notice no one Creek congratulated her of the other teams as a matter of fact, no one congratulated any of the United States teens back in those days. No maybe they did it off camera but if you notice the original footage, they didn’t go to congratulate her or the other team mates African-Americans but that’s all right we did and we’re still proud of her all of them.
OMG !!!! That man ages like fine wine!!!! Slavery has BEEN going on in Dubai too! Witnessed it first hand! Once the workers realized there was no $$ to send home and they could not leave because they did not have their passports in their possession …. they started jumping off the Burj Khalifa 😢
So Hard To Be A Tiger "😅😅 Right On , This Movie I Missed "I Was Working I'd Like To Show The Grandkids And Family This Movie I Already had My Kids Join Track Teams This Movie Would Help More With Their Education "Right On 😊 People 😊
THIS WAS NOT HIS VERY FIRST MOVIE! HIS VERY FIRST MOVIE is “DUTCHMAN” 1967, starring AL FREMAN! See that little black boy walking in the train towards the end, that’s DENZEL WASHINGTON! Great movie !
Amen 🙏 Unto the Trinity Amen 🙏🙏🙏💖👏🌍 This young lady was born all ready preparing for her unknowing but spiritual journey. Praise God 🙏💖🌍👏 Glory Glory Glory Hallelujah, In the mighty and powerful and authorized name of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior Amen 🙏💖🌍
Amen Received. Thank You Jesus for Seeing it all, and Handling it all, The liars, thieves, evildoers. Thank You Jesus for Your Continued Presence, Justice, Healing and Peace. Thanks for the Timely Word.
@: Perhaps you haven’t seen the movie. He was not an extra and had more than a walk-on part. He did a whole scene. Non-speaking roles do count. It was once commonplace for actors to go uncredited, especially actors of color, even when they had speaking roles. I cannot say for certain whether Denzel was credited or not. I’ll have to get back to you on that because he very well may have been.
@@hereforit2347 let’s keep it all love. ❤️ I don’t think you were directing that to us and to your point I haven’t seen that film so thanks for putting us on game. At the same time, actors, media and critics alike typically describe debut and break out roles as the ones where the actors speak on screen as oppose to saying they “appeared” in other productions. Tomato -tomato in the end. Also as an actor the pay is totally different when u speak. We aren’t here to argue just to appreciate his early work and I appreciate your contribution to the dialogue.

Cisely Tyson still Queen of the big screen, even back then.

What a fantastic movie I love these types of movie what fantastic actors, and actresses. They don't make movie like this anymore.
Thank you for sharing Wilma. It was both educational and informative. I thought Carbon Copy was Denzel Washington's first movie, and I believed that I had seen them all until I came across this one that my 53 years+ memory could not recall.👍🏾
You are so welcome
That was his first movie but he this was his first TV role.
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
You are so welcome!

I remember watching this on TV

They represented America..and didn’t get respect they should’ve been shown in America.
Joe Seneca played his father in Mississippi Masala.Rip also to Ms C tyson
Great movie
OMG !!!! That man ages like fine wine!!!!
Slavery has BEEN going on in Dubai too! Witnessed it first hand! Once the workers realized there was no $$ to send home and they could not leave because they did not have their passports in their possession …. they started jumping off the Burj Khalifa 😢

Thanks for subbing
If you notice, Denzel's upper teeth have a gap in it!
He got it fixed after the movie was made.
Yep
Love my gap upper too

Paulette Washington at 44:34. Denzel at 52:00.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I believe that Paulette Washington was also in this movie.
This is where they met
@@blacktreemedia Yes that's right. I believe I read it in an Essence magazine years ago.

tree
the best treatment
Did she have her baby before the Olympics?
Polio was a terrible disease.
I thought Denzel's first movie was "Carbon Copy" with George Siegel?
First acting role is this movie. First Hollywood was c copy
Carbon Copy 1981, this was 1977 and technically a TV Movie although TV movies back then were a bigger deal then we consider today.
This is not Denzel’s first film. He had a small role in Death Wish, 1974.
A speaking role?
@: No. 😆
Non-speaking roles don't can't. Especially back then. He was prolly considered just an extra in that film
@: Perhaps you haven’t seen the movie. He was not an extra and had more than a walk-on part. He did a whole scene.
