On Sunday, August 5th when millions (perhaps billions) will gather to watch the fastest men in the world battle for supremacy in the 100m at Olympic Stadium, a little-known film "Akwantu: the Journey," will make will make a splash in its European Premiere just minutes away at the Maryland Complex in Stratford, East London. Festival Jamaica 2012, the organizers of this screening, are well aware that many would like to see this battle of the sprint titans, so they have scheduled a live feed of the 100m semi-finals to be shown on the BIG screen at 7: 45 PM, before the film starts; and at the conclusion of this 87-minute epic documentary, will switch focus to the highly anticipated 100m final at 9: 50 PM. On this historic night in London the country's cultural and athletic ambassadors will be "Proudly Celebrating Jamaica." Go for the gold!
This will truly be a significant event considering the next day the country of Jamaica will be celebrating its 50th Year of Independence.
And for those of us who will be watching stateside check out the trailer for the film Akwantu: The Journey...
