Produced by USA Swimming and directed by Scarsdale resident and Emmy winner Brian T. Brown, The Last Gold is the “greatest untold story in Olympic swimming history,” detailing the efforts of the 1976 women’s Olympic Team to overcome disappointing results, a critical media, and their systematically-doped opponent—the East German team. Narrated by Julianna Margulies, the film had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival and is a great tale of determination in the face of adversity.

The screening is a part of Local Element, an ongoing series which provides a public showcase for new work, fosters emerging talent, and helps build a strong community among area filmmakers.
