The feature-length documentary is one of only twelve documentary films chosen for this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n<p>Considered one of the greatest untold stories in Olympic history, The Last Gold details the heroic efforts of the women\u2019s 1976 U.S. Olympic swim team as they competed against the systematically-doped East Germans. After an entire competition of disappointing results, winning no races and facing critical media that heaped on additional pressure, the U.S. women rallied together to do as a team what they could not do individually \u2013 win gold.<\/p>\n<p>The LA Film Festival, produced by Film Independent, a non-profit arts organization, runs from <span data-term=\"goog_1477849394\">June 1-9<\/span>. Now in its 22nd year, the Festival showcases the best of American and international cinema and is recognized as a world-class event with participation from the most critically acclaimed filmmakers, film industry professionals and emerging talent from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUSA Swimming is extremely proud to have produced this documentary on the 40-year anniversary of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games,\u201d said <strong>Chuck Wielgus<\/strong>, Executive Director of USA Swimming and Executive Producer of The Last Gold. \u201cBeing accepted to the LA Film Festival gives us a great outlet to start sharing this important piece of Olympic history that not many know about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film is directed by 15-time Emmy winner <strong>Brian T. Brown<\/strong> and narrated by Emmy Award-winning actress <strong>Julianna Margulies<\/strong>, one of TIME Magazine\u2019s &#8220;100 Most Influential People in the World&#8221; for 2015. Margulies also starred in NBC\u2019s long running drama, ER and is now the star of The Good Wife on CBS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This film was truly a labor of love and it was a privilege to be a part of telling one of the most amazing untold stories in Olympic history,\u201d said Brown. \u201cThis film is about a great struggle and a shining triumph that is as resonant as ever and, at long last, deserves to be heard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 LA Film Festival\u2019s diverse slate includes 56 feature films, 58 short films and 13 short episodic works representing 28 countries. The Festival\u2019s five competitions feature 42 World Premieres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honored to share a story that is so important to the history of swimming and to the women who were affected,\u201d said <strong>Mike Unger<\/strong>, Assistant Executive Director of USA Swimming and Co-Producer of The Last Gold. \u201cThe perseverance by the U.S. women\u2019s team to maintain their focus throughout the competition and to make a comeback on that final relay was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Last Gold tells the remarkable stories by the pioneering members of \u201976 U.S. Olympic swimming team, who set numerous American and would-be World records and with resilience competed at the most elite level in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shirley Babashoff<\/strong>, a member of the \u201876 relay team featured in the film, is considered one of the greatest female swimmers of all time. Babashoff set six world records and earned a total of eight individual Olympic medals throughout her career. In 1982, Babashoff was inducted in the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an \u2018Honor Swimmer\u2019 and in 2005 she received the Olympic Order, the highest award of the Olympic Movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresenting my country as an Olympic athlete is something I\u2019m very proud of and being a part of this film has been a tremendous experience,\u201d said Babashoff. \u201cMy hope is that our story is remains impactful and that what we experienced will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LA Film Festival passes are currently on sale and individual tickets go on sale to the general public on <span data-term=\"goog_1477849395\">Tuesday, May 10<\/span>.
