September 5

It was supposed to be a normal day of broadcasting from the 1972 Munich Olympics. Young and ambitious television producer Geoff is trying to put together ABC’s sports broadcast so that his boss, legendary producer Roone Arledge, has no objections. At that moment, a few hundred meters from their team’s base, a drama unfolds in which points and seconds are not at stake. It is about the lives of eleven Israeli athletes who have been ambushed by a Palestinian commando unit and are being held hostage in the Olympic village. The drama September 5 was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Screenplay category.
