It's an iconic image from the '68 Mexico City games: Tommie Smith and John Carlos bow their heads and raise their firsts on the podium. Though the pair endures as symbols of dissent, the meaning of their salute has evolved, and its legacy is complicated. Their act both paved the way for athlete protests but also led to the most consequential act against Olympic protests. But in 2022, will Rule 50 finally face its moment of reckoning? Hosted by Molly Bloom. Produced by FilmNation Entertainment in association with Gilded Audio.
