Munich ‘72 and Beyond
Executive Producer of award-winning, Emmy-nominated independent documentary airing on PBS on the first act of modern terror on a global stage: Palestinian extremists killed 11 Israeli athletes, disrupting the Summer Olympics and shocking the world. With chilling detail, this new film unravels why and how the attack happened, its aftermath, and its importance to us today. Munich ’72 and Beyond brings alarming new evidence and previously unseen photographs to light, and captures the poignant 43-year struggle for public remembrance. In the decades since the 1972 Munich massacre, there has been no official recognition of the event by the IOC or German authorities. And for many, it has been forgotten or ignored. Until now.
The revelations in Munich ’72 and Beyond made headlines in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR and around the world. The film won Best Documentary at the prestigious Los Angeles International Shorts Festival, qualifying for the 2018 Academy Awards, and the international Euro Shorts Festival in London. It has aired on PBS stations in the U.S. and throughout the world via PBS International.
Produced by David Ulich and Dr. Steven Ungerleider of Sidewinder Films and The Foundation for Global Sports Development, and Crisman Films. Directed by Stephen Crisman.
