One Day in September

Synopsis

On September 5, 1972, eight Palestinian terrorists from the Black September Movement invaded the Israeli housing compound at the Olympic Village of the Summer Games in Munich, Germany, killing two of the athletes and taking the other nine hostage. A gripping, tension-filled account of the '72 Olympics, the feature-length documentary ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER sheds new light on how a tragic series of errors of judgment led to the final brutal massacre at a German airport. Could this tragedy have been avoided? This year's Academy Award® winner for Best Documentary Feature, ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER, traces; the story of the Olympic events from the initial hostage-taking, through the fruitless 24-hour negotiation process, to the final horrifying hours.
