Greenspan is an excellent storyteller and has the perfect music to match the emotion!

I loved this documentary on the Montreal Olympics! I particularly liked the "Marathon" story line and the music by Andre' Gagnon stirred the Olympic spirit within me. Whenever I would go running, I'd hear the music from this film in my head... imagining that I was competing in the Olympics! I have searched high and low to see this film again, but unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere! There is the soundtrack to the movie, "Running" with Michael Douglas that shares the same music - but it's not the same as this film by Bud Greenspan. I rarely leave comments on websites, but this documentary moved me greatly and I hope to someday find the opportunity to see it again!
