SEPTEMBER 5, WILL HAVE YOU SITTING AT THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!

6th February 2025

September 5 is one of the most talked-about films of the year, and for good reason. Directed by Tim Fehlbaum, it takes a fresh approach to the tragic events of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre by focusing on how ABC Sports covered the crisis in real time. Instead of following the terrorists or the victims directly, the film zeroes in on the newsroom, showing the intense ethical and emotional dilemmas faced by journalists as they broadcast a horrifying event to the world. It’s a gripping, nerve-wracking look at the power and responsibility of live media.

The cast delivers some powerhouse performances, with Peter Sarsgaard playing Roone Arledge, the president of ABC Sports, and John Magaro as Geoffrey Mason, the guy running the control room in Munich. Ben Chaplin takes on the role of Marvin Bader, another key figure at ABC, while Leonie Benesch plays Marianne Gebhardt, a translator caught in the middle of the chaos. The film cleverly weaves in real archival footage, blending history and fiction so seamlessly that you feel like you’re right there, watching the tragedy unfold.

Critics have been raving about September 5, praising its tense, claustrophobic atmosphere and thought-provoking take on media ethics. It doesn’t just recount history; it makes you think about how we consume news and the tough choices journalists have to make under pressure. The way it captures the panic, the confusion, and the weight of responsibility feels incredibly relevant even today.

And, of course, the awards buzz is real—September 5 has snagged a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars. If you’re into historical dramas that make you sit on the edge of your seat, this one is definitely worth watching.
