September 5 unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage. Set during the 1972 Munich Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. At the heart of the story is Geoff, a young and ambitious producer striving to prove himself. Together with Marianne, a German interpreter, Geoff unexpectedly takes the helm of the live coverage. As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumors spread, with the hostages’ lives hanging in the balance, Geoff grapples with tough decisions while confronting his own moral compass.
September 5, a taut, suspenseful thriller with a brilliant ensemble, led by Peter Saarsgard, has received outstanding reviews at both the Venice and Telluride Festivals.
