SCREENINGS
The Olympic Games, Munich, 1972. It was supposed to be a routine sports news assignment. During the live broadcast, a terrorist attack unfolds against the Israeli Olympic team. Instead of covering sport performances, the reporters become immersed in live footage of the terrorists and their hostages. But what happens if something tragic occurs right on camera? This film reconstruction of the television coverage, which drew over a billion viewers, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
