September 1972. A Palestinian commandocalled “Black September”, takes hostage the Israeli delegation of the Munich Olympics. This harsh film pamphlet, which denounces the hypocrisy of the so-called “Olympic peace”, mixes archival footage from TV and images shot in refugee camps in Jordan in September 1971, during the repression byKing Hussein’s army. A forgotten détournement work by feminist video pioneer Carole Roussopoulos.
