Directed by Yuri Ozerov • 1981 • Russian Federation

O SPORT, YOU ARE PEACE! is the official film of the Games of the XXII Olympiad Moscow 1980, Games that were dogged by a boycott on the part of the United States because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. Undeterred, Moscow devoted enormous effort to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, setting the bar high for future host cities, and director Yuri Ozerov records them in loving detail.
