Description
On 10 September 1960 Abebe Bikila, an Ethiopian, won the Rome Olympic marathon running barefoot. He was the first black African to win a gold medal at the Olympics.
Overnight he became a sporting hero, an African hero and for many the first black African they had ever heard of. Bikila was a man of his times - a symbol of hope in the new Africa.
Now for the first time the true story is told.
