	One Day in September - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One Day in September was a 1999 documentary film directed by Kevin Macdonald examining the September 5, 1972 killing of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.
		The terrorists are seen preparing for the attack: Al-Gashey, a member of Black September, says he and the other members were trained in Libya before going to Germany to begin the attack.
		The film also alleges that the October 29 hijacking of a German Lufthansa jet and the subsequent release of the three Black September members being held for trial in the killings was a set-up by the German government.

	Jigsaw Lounge - The Filth and The Fury & One Day In September
		The September in the title of One Day In September is that of 1972 - Black September, as it came to be known, from the name of the Palestinian organisation which invaded the Olympic village in Munich and held hostage members of the Israeli athletic squad.
		September also uses modern-day interviews with 'survivors' of the event - in a major coup, these include the sole surviving member of Black September, who speaks for the first time about what went on during the siege and its disastrous aftermath at Munich airport.
		MacDonald's main source is the widow of one of the Black September victims, and he does full justice to the gravity and dignity of her situation and attitude.

	One Day in September Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		One Day in September is more gripping than any work of fiction, and no documentary since When We Were Kings has been as exciting — and none since Night and Fog has been as horrifying.
		September tells the story of the hostage crisis during the 1972 Munich Olympics, when members of the Maoist Palestinian terrorist group Black September seized 11 Israeli athletes hostage inside the Olympic compound.
		Macdonald and his team, which included a Palestinian journalist, really did their homework, and their research turns up plenty of blame to go around—from the incompetence of the Munich police to the drunken American athletes who were returning to the village at the same time as the terrorists were entering.

	SONY PICTURES CLASSICS presents: One Day In September
		To Palestinians Black September was September 1970 when King Hussein of Jordan took up arms against the unruly Palestinian militias based in his country, killing over 4,000 and expelling the remainder.
		Abu Daoud, the Black September commander most closely involved with setting up the Munich operation, admitted to the filmmakers that Black September was merely the cover name adopted by members of Fatah when they wanted to carry out terrorist acts, but did not want the party's name besmirched.
		The de facto leader of Black September (and the man who personally carried the arms into Germany that were used in Munich) was Abu Iyad, Arafat's long-time deputy.

	The Unofficial Gerald Seymour Homepage \| One Day in September
		In the early hours of 5 September 1972 the perimeter fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich was scaled by members of the ultra-violent Palestinian terrorist faction Black September.
		Based largely on exhaustive investigation for the Oscar-winning documentary, One Day in September is the definitive account of the tragedy.
		Those who make the mistake of thinking the dark days of international terrorism are history will read One Day in September and remember that those underlying tensions still cast shadows over our present and future.

		ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER is the chilling story of the hostage taking and murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics.
		On September 5, 1972, a left-wing terrorist Palestinian group called "Black September" stormed the Olympic village and held 11 Israeli athletes hostage before brutally killing them, as the world anxiously followed the 11-hour standoff on their television screens.

	One Day in September (2000): Reviews
		Nothing, however, can diminish the sense of horror we feel at what happened that day in September, while Macdonald's revelations and the candid comments he elicits more than make up for the film's less successful elements.
		Given the power of its story, One Day in September seems at times to be pushing too hard.
		One Day in September does "being there" very well -- I just wish director Macdonald had spent a little more time explaining why we should want to be there in the first place.

	village voice > film > La Bûche; What's Cooking?; One Day in September by Amy Taubin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		It could be described as the most gripping political thriller to hit the big screen in many years, although given the events it depicts through interviews, photographs, and news footage, the words "gripping" and "thriller" have inappropriately frivolous and commercial associations.
		In 1972, members of Black September, the Palestinian terrorist group, invaded the Israeli compound at the Munich Olympics, took 11 Israeli athletes and coaches hostage, and tried to negotiate for the release of 200 Palestinian prisoners, a demand the Israeli government refused to entertain.
		The flaw of One Day in September is that while it goes to great lengths to give the Israeli athletes their full humanity through home movies and testimonies of friends and relatives, it gives no such attention to the terrorists nor to the history of Palestinian displacement.

	ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER/ ***1/2
		Except it was a perfect publicity opportunity for Palestinian terrorists, who on September 5 invaded the Olympic Village, took 19 Israeli athletes hostage, and declared that they would be executed within 24 hours unless 330 Palestine criminals were released from foreign jails.
		Because our memory of these events is hazy, "One Day in September", a powerful film that won the Best Documentary Oscar in March, generates an incredible amount of tension.
		All its many little facts and images, though, revolve around the one sad, frustrating truth that there are enough idiotic extremists worldwide to strike anyone, anywhere, at any time, with the support of millions of their countrymen.

		In September 1972, Palestinian terrorists invaded the athletes' quarters of the Munich Olympiad and took Israeli athletes hostage.
		Kevin Macdonald's documentary "One Day in September" retells these events in the style of a thriller, which is a little unsettling.
		Footnote: When "One Day in September" won the Academy Award in 2000, its producer, Arthur Cohn, held up the Oscar and boasted, "and I won this without showing it in a single theater!" The documentary community is still angry about that remark.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: One Day in September
		Director Kevin Macdonald's 1999 documentary One Day in September chronicles the events of Sept. 5, 1972, as a group of eight Palestinian terrorists entered the Olympic Village in the pre-dawn hours and rapidly overtook the building housing the Israeli Olympic team.
		After further negotiations, Black September arranged for the transfer of themselves and their hostages to the Munich airport via helicopter, where they demanded a fully fueled jet that would fly them to a friendly country.
		Also confirmed for the first time by Macdonald is that an airliner hijacking and subsequent release of the three Black September terrorists from German prison was in fact staged by the German government in the hopes of preventing future terrorist attacks in their country.

		And in an unprecedented coup, the filmmakers interview the only surviving member of the "Black September" group, living in perpetual hiding somewhere in Africa.

	One Day In September - Movie Review
		Thus, in addition and perhaps without realizing it, the film exemplifies why cinema is such a powerful and dangerous medium; One Day in September is an adroitly constructed yet highly manipulative film.
		Once the film gets to its point by recreating the actual events that took place on the day of the attack, September 5, 1972, it tries to create suspense by applying slow motion shots and stirring music score punctuated with pounding sounds of a heart beat.
		Despite the fact that One Day in September might upset a lot of people for being manipulative and one-sided, this historical account is shocking, jarring, and unequivocally worth seeing.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: One Day in September \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		In fact, if it didn't retell one of the most horrifying periods in Olympic Games history, the film would likely have been an outright dud, because this is some of the most shamefully manipulative — even exploitative — pieces of documentary filmmaking ever.
		Yet, despite the film's many flaws, it's still a powerful, disturbing story — one that you can't easily shake, especially when you consider that Utah is bracing for the spectacle that is the Olympics in a little less than a year.
		"One Day in September" is rated R for archival footage of violent shootouts and glimpses of graphic crime-scene photos (some of which are extremely gory).

	One Day in September (1999): Michael Douglas - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Kevin Macdonald's One Day in September recalls the events of one day -- or rather, almost one day, twenty-one hours to be exact -- during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
		The film shows athletes preparing for events and lounging in the sun, in apparent view of the Israeli quarters, while one commentator observes that their seeming nonchalance is "obscene." By tracing these failures, One Day in September represents compelling links between sports (in general and specifically Olympian) and violence, as a basis for cultural exchange.
		Most effectively, the film shows that the Games are by definition political and commercial, despite and because of repeated claims to the contrary: As Mark Spitz and Olga Korbut became media stars in 1972, the film contends, the hostages and their captors were caught in a horrific and unforgettable real-time drama.

	One Day in September
		Given no orders to kill, he says, his Black September comrades were assigned to hold and, if necessary, deport their hostages long enough to extract a 200-member list of Palestinian activists from their prison cells.
		Thus, as Jamal describes the early, unplanned shooting of the wrestling coach who tried to overpower the eight-man hit squad, the whole terrible incident emerges as one that had already spun out of control before the world, even the immediate community, knew it was happening.
		One Day in September, as early as its title, is clear in stipulating that its aims have little to do with the wider framework of Israeli-Palestinian strife, and nothing to do with complicating the dramatic canvas from the sheer, revolting victimhood of the Israelis and the merciless aggression of their captors.

	Film: One day in September
		On the night of September 4, the terrorists were able to walk into the Olympic village and take their hostages without interference because intelligence and security had been left deliberately lax.
		As night fell on that fatal day, a deal was struck to get the gang and their hostages out of the village and onto a plane.
		Apart from anything else, One day in September is an absolutely gripping real-life thriller, far more effective as drama than any number of fictional hostage stories.

	'One Day in September'
		Last year's Oscar-winning documentary, "One Day in September," now at the Manor theater, reminds us of how much went wrong and why -- and contributes some additional shocking pieces of testimony.
		Director Kevin McDonald tracked down the lone surviving terrorist, Jamal Al Gashey, who tells how he was recruited into the Black September group and recounts details of the operation.
		He says he wanted to fight Israel as an alternative to a hopeless lifetime as a refugee, and he remains proud of what he did in Munich, which he saw as a means of bringing the world's attention to the plight of the Palestinians.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - One Day In September Review - One September we can't forget
		When members of the Black September terrorist group -- all disguised as athletes -- climbed over the fence at Olympic village by night to begin their kidnapping campaign, they were helped over by a group of American athletes who had been out late drinking.
		The notion that history is in the past is shattered in One Day In September by present-day interviews with the widows and children of the athletes -- not to mention interviews with Jamal al-Gashey, the one Black September terrorist who is still alive.
		The Munich massacre was a blip on the world screen for many years; 28 years later, the obscene behaviour of some officials at the time, the disastrous lack of decisive action and the general cover-up involved are all revealed in this film.
