Editorial Reviews

In 1972, athletes from around the globe gathered in Munich, Germany for the Olympic Games. However, the Olympic spirit of brotherhood and peaceful competition was shattered when eight Palestinian terrorists invaded the athletes' quarters to take the Israeli team hostage, resulting in the violent deaths of eleven athletes. In One Day in September, director Kevin Macdonald mixes newsreel coverage of the tragedy with interviews of witnesses and participants (including Jamil Al Gashey, the only surviving member of the terrorist cadre Black September who were responsible for the killings), as they discuss what happened, and how a dangerous situation turned tragic and deadly . Produced by two-time Oscar winner Arthur Cohn,One Day in September earned Cohn another trophy when it received an Academy Award as Best Documentary Feature. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

One Day in Septemberby Anonymous

April 10, 2007: A day that will truly live in infamy for its brutality and horrid results in incompetence by the West German Police in not helping the Israeli team. Shows much of the games as peaceful and even that Tuesday as a peaceful even tranquil day before the hostages were terrorized on live television by Black September. Reminds me of the September 11th tragedy in the courage of the victims and the ineffectiveness of the bureaucrats.

November 06, 2006: This is the film that "Munich" wanted to be. It's a powerful,moving,no-holds-barred look at one of the most shocking events in history.It really brings back memories of that horrible day.Beautifully done in every way,and remarkably even-handed(you get to see both sides of the story,and the filmmakers are sensitive and unbiased).This is a remarkable documentary that must be seen.
