shareDoes anyone know when/where this film can be watched in the UK? Thanks
I was coming to ask the very samew thing Kathy after seeing the BBC piece on Friday.
I have googled to no avail.

It's a wonderful story and I commend Matt Norman for wanting to tell his uncle's side of things. I just wish his film had been able to do what this article does. That is, focus on the Peter Norman story without getting sidetracked by overlong interludes involving the American Civil Rights and Black Power movements, as this has already been covered. Unfortunately after watching this 2 hour doco, in many ways Peter still seems like the peripheral figure history has usually deemed him to be.
I think the film needed to be shorter, more tightly edited with a greater focus on Norman himself and less intrusions, with the greatest respect, from Smith, Carlos and other extraneous talking heads.🐭
