**Los Angeles, CA** – The gripping thriller “September 5,” nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture (Drama), tells the story of the ABC Sports team’s harrowing experience covering the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis. The film, directed by Tim Fehlbaum, vividly portrays the chaotic events surrounding the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of eleven Israeli athletes.
Fehlbaum explained that the film aims to capture the intense, breathless atmosphere of the unfolding tragedy, drawing heavily on interviews with journalists present at the scene. While acknowledging parallels between the 1972 attack and current events, he emphasized that the film primarily focuses on a pivotal moment in media history – a turning point in how news events were covered. He hopes the film will spark reflection on our contemporary media landscape.
“September 5” had a limited release in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto in December and will receive a nationwide release on January 17, 2025. The Paramount Pictures film will eventually stream on Paramount+, though a specific date has yet to be announced.
