A special preview of one of the New Year’s most anticipated films. Set against the backdrop of the 1972 Munich Olympics, where a hostage crisis shook the world, SEPTEMBER 5 is a gripping historical thriller, at its heart concerned with the way media shapes our perceptions. The film centres on ABC Sports’ broadcast team as they move from covering the Games to handling real-time coverage of the unfolding crisis involving Israeli athletes. At the heart of the story is a young producer, Geoff, who must navigate intense pressure and ethical challenges as he leads the live broadcast, guided by his boss, Roone Arledge. As the situation escalates, Geoff faces dilemmas that test both his integrity and personal beliefs, capturing the intensity and gravity of live journalism in the face of tragedy. September 5 not only revisits a pivotal moment in sports and world history but also reveals the profound impact it had on the evolution of global media and live news coverage.
