Rachel Portman’s recent film, Race, the much anticipated, harrowing biographical sports drama, will be officially released in the UK on 3 June 2016.

The film is based on the incredible true story of Jesse Owens, the legendary athletic superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy. ‘Race’ is an enthralling film about courage, determination, tolerance, and friendship, and an inspiring drama about one man’s fight to become an Olympic legend.

Sainsburys’ ambitious Christmas Mog the Cat advertising campaign, with music especially composed by Rachel Portman and recorded by The Chamber Orchestra Of London, has been nominated for Best Use Of Animation in a Commercial at this year’s British Animation Awards (BAAs)!
