Great tension building. Loved watching this inside perspective. This is about the ABC Sports crew who became the eyes and ears of this emergency crisis at the Olympics. If you’ve seen the documentary One Day In September, this is a good complement to that. Also love the ingenuity on display with how news crews used their equipment and smarts to cover a breaking story as it happened in the pre Internet era, when we had to use our brains more! For that, and also with current events, I think everyone under 40 should be required to watch this. Then watch Spielberg’s 2005 action film Munich for what came after. The added q&a film after the credits was a nice bonus though the sound was not adjusted from the film and was way too loud. Footnote, increased security costs stemming from this are one reason the Montreal games in 1976 went over budget.
