Movie Review: ‘September 5’ goes inside a newsroom during the Munich Olympics hostage crisis

The film is a moment by moment retelling of how a group of sports broadcasters brought this story to the world in real time, despite the technical limitations and their own inexperience across a confusing 22 hours.
