  • Weißbrich, who was just 5 years old when the Munich massacre occurred, didn't see the events unfold live, but they were deeply ingrained in his German upbringing, giving him a unique perspective on the film's recreation of that harrowing day.
  • The editor had to expertly combine re-enacted footage with archival news broadcasts, including the legendary reporting of Jim McKay, whose limited live footage posed a technical challenge but also allowed for a more authentic recreation of the events.
