1972. The Munich Olympic Games. 121 Nations. 7,123 Competitors. Over a billion viewers…and 8 Palestinian Terrorists. For the first time in over 25 years, the truth is revealed.

One Day in September is the incredible, shocking Academy Award®-winning (Best Documentary Feature, 1999) story about the brutal massacre of Israeli athletes by a team of extreme Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. Finally, the unbelievable truth is revealed: how eight terrorists easily snuck into the Olympic Village and took 11 innocent athletes hostage, the tension-filled negotiations that followed and the shocking conclusion at a German airport that stunned the world. Featuring the frightening perspective of the only surviving terrorist and revelatory facts about what really happened on that dark night.

Produced by Academy Award®-winner Arthur Cohn (American Dream, The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis), directed by Kevin MacDonald (Donald Cammell: The Ultimate Performance) and narrated by Michael Douglas, One Day In September unfolds like a gripping thriller - except this unforgettable story is completely true.
