About the film:
During the 1972 Munich Olympics, an American broadcasting team is thrust from covering sports to reporting a dramatic hostage situation involving Israeli athletes. A young producer, unexpectedly leading the live broadcast, faces difficult decisions as time runs out, rumors spread, and the hostages’ lives hang in the balance.
About the filmmaker:
Born in New York City, Frank Henenlotter is a writer and director raised on low-budget grindhouse films. Best known for offbeat plots, lowbrow humor and excessive gore in exploitation films like his debut feature Basket Case, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker, and Bad Biology, Henenlotter was perfectly situated to begin filming a series of documentaries on the art of the genre, including Herschell Gordon Lewis – The Godfather of Gore, That’s Sexploitation!, and Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana, a chronicle of the first American artist to be convicted of obscenity which screened in competition at the 2019 Cleveland International Film Festival.
