The first terrorist attack to be broadcast live around the world happened in 1972, on September the 5th, at the Munich Olympics.

In this episode, Jason speaks to Swiss-German director Tim Fehlbaum, and cast including an excellent Peter Saarsgard, about September 5, a film that takes us back to those events through the eyes of the sports journalists who brought the news to the world.Plus, a very different film, made by a couple of friends who are a kind of Swedish Hamish and Andy, comedy duo Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson. Their film, The Last Journey, is about Filip's ageing father Lars, a former French high school teacher who has become pessimistic about his life and his frail body. Filip decides his father needs an intervention, and with Fredrik in tow, they hire an old Renault and takes Lars south for a road trip to France, a country his father has always associated with summer holidays, family and freedom.
