27-year old American Maurice Greene is the fastest man in the world at the time of production having run 100m in 9.79 seconds (world record, June 1999). He has dominated the short sprint distance since 1997 by winning three world championships and being the reigning Olympic champion from the Sydney Games. "Mo" displays his own style and the cameras have followed Maurice Greene and his entourage for several months as well as conducted interviews with his parents, athletic trainer, and members of the world famous training group that includes Emanuel Hudson, Ato Boldon, and Jon Drummond. This film is a high-speed adventure that captures this kid from Kansas City who, through sheer determination and hard work has become one of the biggest stars in world athletics. This is a rare production and there is no current availability of this French release by Reservoir Sport. Directed by Eric Hannezo and Bruno Girodon this documentary is one in the "Great Champions" series and utilizes French as well as English language.
