One Day in September
Dir: Kevin Macdonald 
1999
*****
One day in September is gripping, intense and pretty astonishing. I thought I knew all there was to know about the '72 Munich Olympics disaster but I hadn't realised just how chaotic and dumbfounding it really was. This documentary tells you everything you need to know, with a thorough collection of TV clips, photos and interviews with people who were there, including an exclusive with the last surviving terrorist. See this if you enjoyed Bus 174, it works as a great companion piece to the also very excellent Munich. Documentaries don't get much better and Kevin Macdonald is fast becoming one of the best documentary film makers working today.
