it's september and there is a documentary called "one day in september" that a friend recommended. i checked it out from the local library. if you haven't heard about it here's the basics: at the olympics games in munich in 1972, some shit went down with some terrorists. while i think it was amazing that the filmmakers were able to assemble the interviewees and get them to speak on camera, in particular the sole surviving terrorist, i feel that the editing was horrid. the footage was amazing but how it was treated was grotesque. i just think that some of the editing choices were disrespectful to the interviewees and those the film is about. for that reason, it's hard for me to understand why this film won any awards. ultimately, a documentary is telling a colored story, a fiction is created by the choices that are made during the entire filmmaking process. this was simply the american version of subtle sensationalism.
