One Day in September (1999)

CBC Newsworld replayed this one the other day. Obviously to captialize on the release of Spleiberg's Munich. Academy Award winning doc on the hostage taking at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Too many wild moments for me to list, read the IMDB reviews to get a sense of what went wrong. The one moment I can't shake is the idea of the German police storming the hostage takers with the world media covering every step. In '72 "live TV" was still a rare occurence, the cops had no idea that the hostage takers were watching everything on TV! You denfitely need to see this film.
