Matt Norman est un Acteur, Réalisateur, Ecrivain et Producteur né le 20 octobre 1971 à Tallangatta (Australie)
Matthew Travis "Matt" Norman (born 20 October 1971) is an actor turned filmmaker who has worked on Australian TV Shows Blue Heelers, Stingers and Neighbours, where he played the role of Pat Miller in over a dozen episodes during the 1990s. Matt Norman's more recent work as director and producer came in the form of his debut feature documentary Salute, which tells the story of his uncle Peter Norman, 1968 200m silver medalist at the Mexico City Olympics.
While committing himself to a new life in the arts, Matt won roles opposite leading Australian and international actors including: Gregory Peck (Moby Dick), Patrick Stewart (Moby Dick), Ted Levine (Moby Dick), Hugo Weaving, Hugh Jackman (Correlli), Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider), Anthony Lapaglia (The Bank), David Wenham (The Bank, SeaChange), Sigrid Thornton (SeaChange), Peter Phelps (Stingers), Rebecca Gibney (Stingers) and others. It was working with these actors that gave Norman the want to tell his own stories. One of Norman's first film roles was on Robert Connolly's The Bank. "Watching Connolly work it gave me a want to see it from the other side of the camera. I'd watched how things were done a million times, but never studied every move. Connolly had the perfect technique working with actors and it was something I wanted to do.."
"I have studied enough movies in my life to give it a red hot go and had been on hundreds of sets to know what everyone does, so going to film school wasn’t even a factor for me. I did it the hard way but I believe the best way, I just went out and made films.

Genres Documentaire

Note75%
The film provides an insight into an incident at the 1968 Summer Olympics which saw two United States athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, give the black power salute from the victory dais after the 200 metres final. The film focuses on the third man on the dias, silver medal winner Peter Norman, who showed his support for Smith and Carlos by donning an "Olympic Project for Human Rights" (OPHR) badge on his way to the podium. It was also Norman who suggested to Smith and Carlos that they share the black gloves used in their salute, after Carlos had left his gloves in the Olympic Village. This is the reason for Smith raising his right fist, while Carlos raised his left. Asked later about his support of Smith and Carlos' cause by the world's press, Norman said he opposed his country's government's White Australia policy.
