On 5 September 1972, the Palestinian group Black September stormed the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team at the Munich Games. The world watched live on television as eleven hostages were taken and later killed. AFTER MUNICH tells the story of the assassination and its aftermath from the perspective of four women who were directly affected by the events of that day: the athlete Esther Roth Shahamorov, the widow Ankie Spitzer, who lost her husband in the assassination, and Mossad undercover agents Sylvia Raphael and Marianne Gladnikoff. The four women look back on the moment that changed their lives forever. The film tells of intrigue and secret identities, love and death, conflict and reconciliation, war and peace, and raises many questions. What can we learn from the past and how does it impact on the present? How can we move on after such a tragedy? What is the human cost of war and terror?
