On this episode, I spoke to editor Hansjörg Weißbrich about his work on September 5.
Weißbrich has been nominated for a Critics Choice Award and Independent Spirit Award for his work on the film. He tied for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Editing.

September 5 unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today. Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows the ABC Sports broadcasting team who quickly shifted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. Through this lens, September 5 provides an important perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by millions of people at the time.
