Centered around the inspirational, enduring friendship of Ambassador Andrew Young and 1996 Olympic CEO William Porter “Billy” Payne — characterized in the film as the most successful Black and White partnership in the American south in the civil rights era — “The Games in Black & White” presents the first comprehensive story of the Atlanta Olympic Games, from the bid through the Games to the legacy and the transformation of the city that followed. Atlanta Story Partners intr oduces the team that led the bid and organized “the largest peacetime event in history,” the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. Through contemporary interviews and archiv al footage, this documentary presents a compelling narrative that looks beyond the athletic highlights to the story of how two men harnessed the Games as an engine of social justice at home and humanitarian outreach abroad
