Salute

The black power salute during the 1968 Mexico Olympics became a symbol of the US civil rights movement, with severe consequences faced by the African-American athletes who raised their fists in defiance against racial injustice, while the white Australian athlete who finished second received criticism for his association with the protest, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equality and opportunities faced by African-American athletes in their own country, and the story also involves a cop named Sathyam who strives for justice and upholding the law in a corrupt political scenario.
