I’m Carl Lewis!

February 28 @ 1:00 pm
A shirtless athlete showcases a muscular physique, holding a collection of medals close to his chest as he stands in front of a large American flag. The artistic black-and-white composition, with strong light and shadow, emphasizes strength, achievement, and national pride, likely celebrating a record of Olympic or world-class triumphs.

Film in the Community, a program of RMWF, shares films monthly at locations around our city – free of charge. Join us in partnership with Peak Education as we celebrate Black History Month with a screening of I’m Carl Lewis! about the uncompromising and extraordinary life of legendary athlete Carl Lewis. We look forward to sharing this film and inspiring conversation. Free and open to the community—everyone is welcome!

In a record-breaking career spanning 18 years, Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals across four Games and was voted “Sportsman of the Century” by the International Olympic Committee. Yet Lewis refused to be pigeonholed and, in doing so, he both revolutionized his sport and inspired cultural change.

Almost 30 years on, Lewis’s legacy has failed to match his incredible success on the track. I’m Carl Lewis! delves into the consequences of his uncompromising drive, featuring unseen archive and Lewis talking openly about his extraordinary life, for the first time in a feature documentary.
