Director/screenwriter Tim Fehlbaum talks to Alexandra Heilbron about how he first heard of the 1972 tragedy that found Olympic athletes being held hostage by terrorists, and what his focus was in making September 5 - the film based on it. He discusses how closely the movie portrays the events and how incredible it was that the American media team sent to cover sports was suddenly able to get the scoop on what was actually happening inside the Olympic Village.

September 5 opens in theatres nationwide on Friday, January 17, 2025.
