September 5th 1972, the Palestinian terrorist group Black September stormed the Israeli athletes’ quarters at the Munich Olympics. The world watched live on television. For the first time, this story is told through the eyes of four women. It’s a story of intrigue; secret identities; it’s about love and death; conflict and reconciliation; war and peace. Their fates redirected. Their well-being and views impacted by the trauma. These four women’s lives are changed forever. But they weren’t the only ones.
Francine Zuckerman has made several documentaries and short films.
