Il saluto - La storia che nessuno ha mai raccontato (2008)
Salute
Il saluto del «Black Power» di Tommie Smith e John Carlos alle Olimpiadi di Città del Messico del 1968 è stato un momento iconico nella lotta per i diritti civili negli Stati Uniti. Molto meno noto è il ruolo svolto in quell’episodio storico da Peter Norman, l’atleta australiano bianco salito sul podio dopo essersi classificato secondo, nonché il prezzo che tutti e tre gli atleti hanno pagato in seguito per aver difeso le proprie convinzioni.

Salute is a 2008 Australian sports documentary film directed, produced and written by Matt Norman. It tells the role of Peter Norman, Norman's uncle, in a defining moment of the American civil rights movement: the 1968 Olympics Black Power salute.
Background
While there had been attempts by American filmmakers to put together a piece on the event, these earlier films had overlooked the actions of Peter Norman. As a result, Matt Norman realised that the full story of his famous uncle had never been told and began filming Salute at the end of 2002.
With the help of the Film Finance Corporation and his local funding body Film Victoria, Norman raised close to two million dollars for post production of the film.
In 2008, Andrew Mackie and Richard Payton of Transmission Films were signed on as Australian distributors and later brought on board Paramount Pictures Australia to release the film nationally in cinemas throughout Australia.
