Quo Vadis (or Quo Vadis?) is a 1924 Italian silent historical film directed by Gabriellino D'Annunzio and Georg Jacoby and starring Emil Jannings, Elena Sangro and Lillian Hall-Davis. It is based on the novel Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz which was notably later adapted into a 1951 film.

Synopsis

In Rome, during the reign of Nero, a young Roman general named Marco Vinicio falls in love with a beautiful Christian slave: Lydia. Their love is impossible, for the contrast of religions, and so Nero, when he learns, imprisons both them. The emperor also intends to extend his domination of Rome and burns the city, blaming the Christians, already hated by the Romans.

On 11 February 1990, Nelson Mandela is released from Victor Verster Prison after having spent 27 years in jail. Four years later, Mandela is elected the first black President of South Africa. His presidency faces enormous challenges in the post-Apartheid era, including rampant poverty and crime, and Mandela is particularly concerned about racial divisions between black and white South Africans, which could lead to violence. The ill will which both groups hold towards each other is seen even in his own security detail where relations between the established white officers, who had guarded Mandela's predecessors, and the black ANC additions to the security detail, are frosty and marked by mutual distrust.

Atletu est le portrait, mêlant fiction et images d’archives, d’une légende du marathon : l’Éthiopien Abebe Bikila. En 1960, lorsqu’il arrive aux Jeux olympiques de Rome, il est parfaitement inconnu. Pourtant, ce fils de berger, pieds nus, remporte la médaille d’or au marathon. Quatre ans plus tard, il réitère son exploit aux Jeux de Tokyo, devenant ainsi le premier champion olympique à être deux fois vainqueur du marathon. Mais quelques années plus tard, victime d’un accident de voiture, il perd l’usage de ses jambes. Il meurt quatre ans après.
