September 5 Review
Riveting ‘September 5’ Captures a Harrowing Moment in History. The utterly gripping docudrama ‘September 5’ recreates how ABC Sports covered a heinous, world-changing act of terrorism at the 1972 Summer Olympics. We take the idea of “breaking news” almost for granted now; the slogan is overused to the point that it’s almost laughable when a cable news network flashes “breaking news” on its chyron every time a politician drops a fork or ties their shoe.
Yet “breaking news” wasn’t nearly as ubiquitous in 1972 as it is now, and ‘September 5’ recounts the tragic, tense story of how a terrorist act at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich changed not just the world, but broadcast journalism itself.
