September 5 (OV)

In the organizer's words:

In Swiss director Tim Fehlbaum's ("Tides") expertly crafted thriller focusing on 1972's infamous Munich Olympics terrorist massacre, journalists take center stage as an American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes. The story of the massacre, in which many hostages were killed by the Palestinian Black September group, is retold through the lens of the TV team as a taut and tense thriller, combining edge of your seat ticking clock thrills, politics, and heroic journalistic efforts. The film captures the compromises, dedication, and human fallibility of the newsroom, turning the film into a fascinating look at the behind-the-scenes inner-workings of a monumental broadcast. Filled with white-knuckle tension, the film is an astounding piece of work, written and performed impeccably to create an ensemble drama that hits you with its gut punch of an ending even if you generally know the story and where it's going.
