Montréal, July 1976. A third of the planet had their eyes riveted on this North American city, where the Games of the XXI Olympiad were being held. For fifteen straight days, filmmaker Jean-Claude Labrecque and his team of one hundred and sixty-eight workers collected footage of athletes at the top of their form at the Games. This ninth Olympic film breaks with cinematic tradition by downplaying the mythology of the Games and focusing intentionally on the facts.
