1972. The Munich Olympic Games. 121 Nations. 7,123 Competitors. Over a billion viewers ... and 8 Palestinian Terrorists. For the first time in 25 years, the truth is revealed.

The full story of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and the Israeli revenge operation 'Wrath of God.' The 1972 Munich Olympics were interrupted by Palestinian terrorists taking Israeli athletes hostage. Besides footage taken at the time, we see interviews with the surviving terrorist, Jamal Al Gashey, and various officials detailing exactly how the police, lacking an anti-terrorist squad and turning down help from the Israelis, botched the operation.
