Of course, it’s a scoop that Mohammed Safady speaks publicly for the first time in this documentary about what he did at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Safady, one of two Palestinian assassins still alive, was presumed dead for years, then there were rumors he was still alive, then he was found and is now being questioned for this film. So there he sits, flat cap, chainsmoker’s face, and in the hoarse tone of the desperado that he is, he recaps how the terrorist leader Issa told him what the assignment would be: “We went to the football stadium where Morocco played Russia On the way there he says without looking up: We have to storm the building on the right tonight.”
