“This docu-drama series…outlines the events of the massacre in its three episodes and includes, among other things, the members of the delegation to Munich who watched the negotiations the Germans conducted with the kidnappers from a nearby room. The series combines dramatic reenactments with the participation of Anat Waxman (who plays the then Prime Minister Golda Meir) and Nati Ravitz (Defense Minister Moshe Dayan).”
ISRAEL HAYOM
“It's a fast-paced documentary rich in interviews and information, which covers a wide range of perspectives and illustrates the many angles of the event. The series pays significant attention to the journalistic angle of the event, as seen through the eyes of Broadcaster Dan Shilon. It also tells the story of Gad Tsboari, the only athlete who managed to escape the kidnappers. Additionally, the series explores the Olympic angle and the consequences for the world of sports.”.
