’13 Steps’: Edwin Moses Documentary Reveals the True Challenge of a Track Icon

Not long after Edwin Moses cracked the code to solve track’s ultimate math problem, he established himself as the greatest hurdler in history.

This accomplishment propelled the engineer-turned-Olympic champion into a position where he could tackle even more complex issues that continue to confound experts to this day, over 40 years later.

The title of a new documentary on Moses, “13 Steps,” references the groundbreaking number of strides he took between the 10 hurdles in the grueling 400-meter hurdles race. This event, where Moses competed 122 times without a loss over nearly a decade, served as a platform for his future endeavors.

“13 Steps” delves into Moses’ involvement in three unresolved causes: fair pay for athletes in track and the Olympics, doping in sports, and racial equality in America. The documentary, debuting at his alma mater, Morehouse College, sheds light on Moses’ significant impact outside the realm of sports.

Born in 1955, Moses was inspired by the actions of Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. However, he chose a different path when he dominated the sport in 1976, opting for un-symbolic displays of unity with teammates.

His experiences with race influenced many of his life choices, including attending Morehouse College, where he found a supportive community. The film features interviews with notable figures such as Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, weaving together the story of Moses’ life.

“13 Steps” also addresses a challenging episode from Moses’ past, highlighting his battle against wrongful accusations and the corrupt legal system. The documentary showcases his activism in combating doping in sports, shedding light on ongoing issues in the industry.

Prior to his activism, Moses fought for fair pay and professionalism in track and field, advocating for athletes to receive their due compensation. His groundbreaking approach to hurdling revolutionized the sport, earning him the title of greatest hurdler in history.

As “13 Steps” reveals, Moses’ journey was not without its obstacles, but his legacy continues to inspire change in the world of sports and beyond.
