No, I'm talking about another documentary I saw about it. It was called "One Day in September" and Spielberg had nothing to do with it. The documentary gave a tremendous amount of time to the Palestinian "cause". In one part there was a German negotiator telling us how he could very easily see himself being friends with the Palestinian terrorist negotiator. The specific part that I'm talking about is when the documentary showed us an interview with the sole surviving terrorist and lamented how he was still in hiding and how it is somehow unfair after all these years.

Overall though, I'd say that it was a good documentary. There was alot in there that I had no idea about. I had no idea that the German authorities at the time were totally incompetent and visibly more concerned about not disrupting the continuation of the games rather than saving the Israeli hostages. And how the rescue attempt at the airport might very well have been successful if only the German authorities hadn't had far too few snipers in position and "forgotten" to call in the armored vehicles that were to be used. I also didn't know about the most disgusting aspect of the German response to the situation which was the German governments collaboration with the Palestinians to free the captured terrorists in a staged airline hijacking which took place not long afterwards. It is shown that the German government freed the terrorists because they wanted to avoid future terrorist attacks in their country. I guess some things never change.
