MOSES – 13 STEPS tells the inspiring life story of one of the most extraordinary athletes in the history of sport, Edwin Moses.

From his childhood in segregated America and his formative years at Morehouse College in Atlanta, to his astonishing victory at the 1976 Olympics and his furious gold medal in 1984, to his post-athletic career, the film illuminates Moses’ journey – as an athlete, scientist, engineer and humanitarian, as a pioneer and visionary leader, and as an advocate of equality, fairness and integrity in sport.

Moses finds his discipline rather by chance and teaches himself the hardest discipline in athletics, the 400 metre hurdles. A historic winning streak follows: 9 years, 9 months and 9 days unbeaten.

Even during his career, the Olympic champion fights for stricter doping controls, fair pay for athletes and equal rights.

Exclusive interviews with Edwin Moses himself, with icons such as Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Neil deGrasse Tyson as well as sporting greats such as Karsten Warholm, Tommie Smith and Michael Johnson provide a very personal insight into the thoughts, motivations and challenges of the exceptional athlete Edwin Moses.
