“We have brought together the voices of one hundred former athletes, judges, volunteers, journalists, and family members who witnessed these historic games,” said Reyes, adding that the planning process for the project had started in the early days of 2018.

The series is divided into 16 chapters of 25 minutes each . They will focus on the most important events of the 1968 Olympics, as well as the most memorable moments of Mexico’s finest athletes.
