Nel 1972 le Olimpiadi di Monaco vengono interrotte da un atto terroristico che catalizza l'attenzione del mondo e lascia tutti con il fiato sospeso. Dei terroristi palestinesi prendono in ostaggio gli atleti israeliani e la polizia, dopo aver formato una squadra antiterrorismo, riesce a bloccare l'operazione. Il documentario cerca di ricostruire l'evento servendosi dei filmati dell'epoca, utilizzando le testimonianze dell'attentatore ancora vivente, Jamal Al Gashey, e le documentazioni della polizia.

5.0 out of 5 stars First rate documentary 20 Jan 2001

By PlexShaw

Format:VHS Tape

Kevin MacDonald's gloriously exhilarating and fascinating documentary charts the events surrounding the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, when the Palestinian terrorist group Black September took several Israeli athletes hostage - with tragic consequences. From the sparse but effective narration by Michael Douglas to the unbiased approach, this is a class act through and through. Much of the documentary focuses on the German government and the Olympic Committee's ineffective handling of the situation and the way in which real people's lives were put at risk for what descended into a media circus of the worst kind. A horrifying reminder of what complacency at the most dire of times can do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a feature 31 May 2007

By Brian Levine

Format:DVD

If you do not watch documentaries, watch this and you will be converted. The slow release onto the celluloid is mesmerising and compelling: it just keeps getting better and better.

No padding, no dodgy dialogue, no script boobs; just an incredible story packed into a relatively short period of screen-time. It feels as though every image, every frame has been chosen specifically to drive the story.

Basically, this film sucks you in, grabs you by the neck and delivers such a painful sucker-punch that it leaves you shaking, quite literally.

Buy it, watch it and wonder how the hell someone let the mess in 1972 ever happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving film 6 Sep 2004

By ILONACAT

Format:VHS Tape

I don't think anyone could watch this film and not be moved . .to anger as well as tears. The hopeless (as we know now) situation of the Israeli hostages is interspersed with interviews with many of the people involved that day, and with coverage of the Olympic events themselves. Though we know how it's going to end, the almost unbearable tension is palpable.

This video is rated 12 and over. Would I be happy for a 12-year-old to see close-up photographs of the dead hostages ? Depends on the 12-year-old, I think.

The apparent lack of remorse in the only surviving terrorist remains the most chilling aspect of this film, whilst the daughter placing sunflowers on the grave of the father she cannot remember remains the most poignant.
