Mason recalls the surreal moment when German police confronted his team, highlighting the tension as they shifted from sports coverage to documenting a live act of terror, under threat from armed officers. "It was jarring to have our cameras focused on the rescue teams, yet we were also attracted to the unfolding conflict. The switch was instantaneous, and the reality of the moment hit us hard."
The film September 5 not only portrays the tragic circumstances of the Munich massacre but also captures how journalists faced ethical dilemmas while covering the event live. The movie emphasizes, "We were forced to make split-second decisions about what to show and what to hold back. The chaos was overwhelming, yet our duty to inform took precedence. Each moment felt monumental, and we took it very seriously."
