This documentary about the hostage crisis at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, which ended with the death of 11 Israeli athletes, won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

Directed by Kevin Macdonald
Produced By Arthur Cohn and John Battsek

The Hollywood Reporter
Interview with producer Arthur Cohn.

New York Times
"Given the power of its story, "One Day in September" seems at times to be pushing too hard. Having worked so diligently to lay out the facts, the filmmakers should have trusted them to make their impression. Still, this is an important and properly disturbing film. It is a potent reminder that the world remains not only small but dangerous as well."

Urban CineFile
"Macdonald's film is a cold shower in mankind's changing room of the millenium"
