Triumph recounts Owens’ rise from a poor childhood in 1920s Cleveland to his ascendance in running and the long jump. At Berlin, he won four gold medals, a direct affront to Adolf Hitler's ideas of Aryan superiority.
Part of Owens' myth is that Hitler snubbed him at the Games after his wins, but Triumph claims that while it is true Hitler didn’t shake hands with Owens, that was because of other factors. The book depicts Owens complaining more about being snubbed by Franklin D. Roosevelt than by the Nazi leader.
Fuqua, repped by CAA, last directed the hit action movie Olympus Has Fallen and has Sony’s The Equalizer in post for a Sept. 26, 2014 release.
