One Day in September

Prior to viewing the film, I knew about the conflict, but never the story or motives behind it. The key behind the whole conflict was nationalism. The Palestinians did horrible things all for their nationalist cause. They used the games as a vehicle to promote this cause to the world. The games which were supposed to be about the advancement of mankind and peaceful competition, were turned into a show of violent nationalism. The national conflict was broadcast to the world. If you look at it all of the conflicts today are manly caused by nationalism, and nationalism was behind this incident as well.
