Steve Prefontaine 1951-1975

 Eugene, Hayward Field, May 29, 1975, the final race on the final day

Frank Shorter and Steve Prefontaine making an attempt to break the American record in the 5000m. Both runners had a huge influence on the emerging running boom of the 1970`s (and that never faded away !). They were at the time at the forefront of fighting to change the amateur rules that prevented top-class athletes from making a decent living out of their sports. Prefontaine embodied the true joy of running and, on the track, he was a completely fearless athlete. A few hours later, his life came to an end in a car accident. This was his last sunset....51 years ago. 

The 1972 Munich Olympic Games, 5000 meters final with Prefontaine finishing in fourth place.

Northern Germany around 1913 - but could be anywhere in Europe. Poverty, religion, guilt, evil, dependence, injustice.... were common social ingredients. A very good film by Michael Haneke 👌
