I found this documentary very interesting. I didn't really know a whole lot about the events that took place in those Olympics- "One Day in September" was a huge eye opener. I couldn't believe the actions of the Palestine terrorists and the German government. I think the one main thing that really stuck out to me about nationalism was when the Palestine man talked about how he was happy about what happened and wouldn't want to take it back. It really shows different forms of nationalism that people around the globe have. Horrendous acts were committed and this man, along with many others, don't even feel guilt or shame about it- they are proud of what they did.
Sport and nationalism were definitely intertwined in this film. I think the Olympics are meant to bring countries from all around the world together to bring unity and promote peace through sport by representing all nationalities. They show that people from all different races, cultures, etc. can have similar interests (sports, in this case)- and they get to represent their country while they compete- which brings a sense of pride (nationalism). This particular Olympics showed where nationalism can be taken too far.
This film made me see nationalism in a different light. I had always thought of it as a good thing for the most part (showing pride and feeling proud of where you came from always comes to my mind when I think of nationalism), but the document showed how different cultures can view it- and in this particular case it led to awful, tragic events. It is kind of a scary thought to think that many people around the world feel no shame in committing acts such as those seen in the film because of their "loyalty to their country".
