From award-winning Swiss filmmaker Tim Fehlbaum comes an immersive film that chronicles the terrifying events surrounding the 1972 terrorist attack during the Summer Olympics held in Munich, Germany, as witnessed by the eyes and cameras of the ABC Sports crew that were on hand to provide coverage of the games. By incorporating archival footage of the actual events, as well as using a strong ensemble cast, September 5 is a thrilling dramatic retelling of how the ABC crew found itself at the heart of an ultimately violent and bloody international incident as it became aware that the Palestinian group Black September, a militant faction of the PLO, had infiltrated the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team before dawn and had taken several of the athletes hostage in order to create leverage to secure the release of Palestinian political prisoners. Navigating conflicting reports and dealing with the pressures imposed by law enforcement and the military organizations responsible for rescuing the hostages, this film tells a story about a team of journalists who did what they could to get the story right.
