Looking forward to this one.

Cracking little film! I knew very little of the facts of the event but this was a fascinating concept of to tell the story. Essentially, it tells the story of the Munich Olympics hostage affair through the eyes of those who brought it to the world's eyes - the ABC sports news crew who threw together the live coverage of the siege completely on the hoof.

Good insight into the goings on in the studio, particularly at a time with more restrictions on communication. I didn't know much besides the main facts of the event so was interesting to even get some of the feel of the time like attitudes towards Germans. Film went by quick and in a good way.
