...decline of the river has had profound social and environmental consequences for the Jordan Valley. It has reduced habitats for the 500 million birds migrating each year from Europe to Africa. It is killing the Dead Sea, which, without replenishment from the Jordan, is being reduced in depth about a meter a year. And it is helping decimate Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank--home to some of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities--which are slowly dying of thirst without access to the river or the authority to dig their own wells...

The film's heartbeat is the gratitude, seemingly profound, that Smith and Carlos feel for the Australian. "I would die for him," Smith says in a 2004 interview. It's all very touching - and perhaps misleading. Speaking to TIME, writer-director Matt Norman, Peter's nephew, makes clear that not all his feelings about Smith and Carlos permeate his film. Salute is essentially a straightforward, if astute and moving, retelling of a well-documented event, so Norman's comments...
