One Day in September Movie Review 1999

Kevin MacDonald does not go for subtlety in this look back at the Palestinian attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. In the opening scenes, he shows us film shot at the wedding of an Israeli fencer and clips from a promotional travelogue for the city of Munich. He also interviews the only surviving terrorist and gets his side of the events. The director's unashamed biases aside, the film is a remarkable piece of work.
