The film, which premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2024, is screening this January at the Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Brooklyn.
Echoing the well-worn pattern seen since 9/11, September 5 is yet another attempt by the Western media to push its imperialist and racist agenda, manufacturing consent for the continued genocide and cultural decimation of Palestine and its peoples.
The workers describe the film as 'Zionist propaganda', which misrepresents the militants who carried out the massacre as 'antisemitic terrorists'.
'The film is an ahistorical and dehumanising dramatisation of Operation Iqrit and Biram, undertaken by the Black September Organisation at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich in the name of the liberation of 200+ Palestinian prisoners,' the petition said.
