Synopsis

The 1972 Munich Olympics were disrupted by a Palestinian terrorist attack in which Israeli athletes were taken hostage. The film includes footage from the event as well as interviews with surviving terrorist Jamal Al Gashey and various officials who recount the details of the failed rescue operation. It is revealed that the police, lacking an anti-terrorist unit and refusing assistance from Israeli authorities, mishandled the situation. The documentary also covers the Israeli retaliation operation known as 'Wrath of God.'

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
