		Though Jackson, who appears frequently in the film, projects utter believability as a guide into the world of Colin McKenzie, those of us who know something about his career as a filmmaker may suspect right from the start that something is amiss.
		Jackson has chosen carefully: he gets interviews with a Kiwi actor (Sam Neill), a bigwig in the American studio system (Harvey Weinstein), and a well-known and well-respected popular film critic (Leonard Maltin), all of whom play along with the gag, with Maltin particularly enthusiastic.
		Jackson peppers the film with other interviews, as well, though none of the subjects are as famous as these three.

	Ananova - Gold medal eludes Jackson
		Colin Jackson's distinguished international career came to an end in Sydney almost before he had realised it.
		Jackson was making his fourth attempt at the ultimate prize, having taken bronze in Seoul in 1988, seventh place in Barcelona four years later when suffering with a rib injury and being one spot outside the medal placings in Atlanta.
		Jackson was probably ahead in the burst from the gun, but then clipped too many barriers to lose vital split seconds as Garcia powered to the gold in 13.00secs, with America's Terrence Trammell second with a personal best of 13.16 and Atlanta Games silver medallist Mark Crear, also of the USA, third in 13.22.

		By 1998, Colin Jackson was in his thirties and had been competing at World class level for over a decade, but his appetite for athletics was seemingly undiminished and his graceful, fluid technique as a hurdler was still an example to his fellow competitors and a delight to witness.
		He declined to defend his Commonwealth title the next month in controversial circumstances (a major meeting in Tokyo was deemed more attractive to a professional athlete).
		This win, however, will be one that Colin will savour for many years judging by his emotional tearful reaction to victory at the end of the race.

		Although Colin is not my favourite celebrity at the moment (he may be if some others go out), I really admire the way he and Erin take the judges comments graciously and don't constantly argue back.

	Rev. Jesse Jackson to Colin Powell - Feb 16 04
		February 16, 2004 - Boston, MA Today, we issue this appeal to the U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to honor its historic alliance with Haiti, and intervene to protect Haitian democracy, a nation imperiled and under seize by rightwing forces who threaten to overthrow the Aristide government.
		Today I join with Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Randall Robinson and the Haitian Action Committee in appealing to the U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and President Bush - to respect the rule of law, democracy, and support the constitutional government of Haiti.
		In doing so, we appeal to the U.S. to abandon its policy of aiding and abetting attempts to overthrow the Aristide Government and, instead, use the resources, power and diplomacy of the United States to restore order in Haiti.
