(Ein Tag im September)
Switzerland/Germany/UK (1999): Documentary
This piece of September terrorism refers to the kidnappings of Israeli athletes from the Munich Olympic village. The documentary's prologue is a classic showcase of Olympic highlights, soundtracked by the Top Ten hit 'Joy' which tugs at our heartstrings by really capturing the infectious optimism of the time. Much of the story revolves around Israeli fencing athlete Anki Spitzer, whose widow voices her memories of him. Be warned, no punches are pulled, and the whole story is revealed in its infuriating, stupid, disgusting, rather corrupt reality. (IMDb)
