September 5 – Went Terror The 2024 Live Day WEB-DL.720p Torrent
15/46
During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, an American sports broadcasting team must adapt to live coverage of Israeli athletes being held hostage by a terrorist group. Juliette Ménager worked in the casting department for this film and München (2005). This was Regal’s Monday mystery film on December 9th. I wasn’t expecting it since I hadn’t heard much about it, but as soon as the film started I was intrigued because I knew what story it was based on. It covers the events of September 5, 1972, the hostage situation carried out by Palestinian terrorists against the Israeli national team during the Munich Olympics in Germany. This film doesn’t delve into the politics of the situation, but focuses on the ABC sports news team who had to scramble to cover the events as they unfolded. It was well told and extremely well edited, with a combination of actual footage of the event mixed with the actors’ performances. I was very impressed with how this was all done, and I also enjoyed watching the story unfold through the eyes of the news crew. It was interesting to see how quickly they had to think to cover as much of what was happening as possible. It was also interesting to see the “behind the scenes” of news coverage, when the mainstream media actually acted ethically. Or tried to. This is not an action-packed film, but I was engaged the whole time and never got bored. It is also a very short film, about 90 minutes (although it felt longer with everything that was going on). Recommended. Video review coming soon.
