Harry Jerome: The Fastest Man on Earth

Educators are advised to preview all video programs before using them in the classroom.
Canadian athlete Harry Jerome overcame racism to reach the height of track-and-field success. When an injury ended his career, Jerome continued training and went on to achieve one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. This short film is a condensed version of the feature documentary Mighty Jerome and supports student exploration into the themes of identity and self-concept, and understanding of care, prevention and decisions regarding sports-related injuries.
