Film Discussion: September 5 (2024)

Join us for a facilitated dialogue on the film September 5. Set during the 1972 Munich Olympics, the story follows an ABC Sports broadcast crew suddenly forced to navigate the harrowing live coverage of a hostage crisis.

This film serves as a powerful case study on the ethical tightrope of journalism: the pressure to be first, the responsibility to be accurate, and the heavy consequences of reporting in real-time.

We invite you to join a diverse group of participants to unpack the film’s central dilemmas and explore how we, as news consumers, navigate the complex media landscape today.

September 5 is available to stream with subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, MGM+, or YouTube Primetime. It can also be purchased through several other streaming platforms for the price of a gallon of gas.

Whether or not you’ve seen the film, we look forward to a thoughtful, bridge-building conversation.
