Morehouse graduate Edwin Moses, one of the greatest athletes of all time, will return to his alma mater next month for a unique occasion. The two-time Olympic champion in the 400-meter hurdles is expected on campus in Atlanta for the world premiere of Moses – 13 Steps, a documentary about his life on and off the track that will close the 6th annual Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival.
The film, directed by Michael Wech and executive produced by a group including Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary, documents a man who holds a track and field record that may never be broken: For nine years, nine months and nine days Moses went unbeaten in the 400-meter hurdles, between 1977 and 1987. A streak of 122 consecutive victories.
