September 5 is a captivating new thriller that studies the moral and ethical responsibility of journalists, in the face of a major moving news story. In this case, we take ourselves back to the Olympic Games in Munich 1972, when the Israeli athletes were taken hostage, and the ABC sports team, were leading the charge with live reporting.
We had the pleasure in speaking to both director Tim Fehlbaum, as well as a collection of his impressive leading cast. You can find our interviews with Peter Sarsgaard and Ben Chaplin, and then John Magaro with Leonie Benesch. We talk about the responsibility of journalists, and how reporting has changed in the modern world. They also talk about shooting a real-time piece, and the challenges that come with that intensity. Watch all three interviews in their entirety, below.
