Is, is that a guarantee of his tragedy effects every pass and who stands for european values, space, democratic values, and humanistic values. Stay with when culture meets politics, tensions can arise. We visit the artist mohammed dublin in egypt, who in spite of government repressions rooms, the caricature museum and we examined the road images played at the 972. 00 munich olympics when a terrorist attack shot the world. But 1st, we meet a ukrainian conductor and ask her what it means to make art during war. Ah, ah, one of ukraines most famous musicians is back in germany. Oksana lind, eve is in firewood, just one year after she became the 1st female conductor to perform here at the esteemed Classical Music festival. That the world has since changed. That this is really a tragedy. And i think this tragedy affects every one. Not only People Living in ukraine, but every person who stands for european values, democratic values, and humanistic values that the democrat dish about the whole money does she have out there . State my nag. My entire family is in ukraine. Of course, it affects me to her. Off i worry about my family every day thought again or mine, the anger heard again. Russias war of aggression weighs heavily underneath here and by roach, to supposed to concentrate on her art. While back at home, bombs are falling and people are dying. There, sir, but thieves all. This also affects us as artists very strongly anymore because at some point she begin to have doubts about art and even humanistic values there and, and human istation. And perhaps without that but let me keeps on despite these doubts, and she points for her beloved homeland in her own way. Like shortly after the russian invasion, at a solidarity concert for ukraine in berlin, you ah, at the beginning of 2022. The name became the chief conductor and bolona. Shes the 1st woman to head, the italian opera house. There. Her orchestra plays music by ukrainian composer. You reship jenco. Its one of the many concerts for ukraine shes conducted since the war began. Ah, this is emma, and i says emotionally, its extremely difficult until you look for an explanation it. But for me its been helpful to remind myself that there were also was an revolutions in the 18th and 19th century. Oh, 9th and the island that garbus could he go on the w 2 on and yet i but they were also all of these great composers who are still relevant to us to day relevancy and, and who had the idea of saving people. Yeah, it day of saving humanity height. Read them, gap, pardon . Something asana you need managed to save was her passion project. The ukrainian Youth Orchestra founded by her in 2016 odds, white dog and hobbies done in 2 days. I had organized a zoom called with the Youth Orchestra foster. At least it was terrible to see how my musicians i did these wonderful young, talented people who weve gathered from all over ukraine into one orchestra. To see these people have always looked me straight in the eyes when playing music. Now exposed to this brutality mahar near directing, and in some cases in life threatening situations is a brutally that yet the advise of it least lebrands but broad. Eh, does his own qualifies. This soon call was a shock for me and talked somewhat calling from bankers or basements, mind you, i was over. Some said that they couldnt unpack their violin yet, have been monday because maybe they wouldnt have the 5 minutes to pack it away again like that. I dont either because every 10 minutes there are sirens and rocket at oxygen in milton gib, sir said n on the katanen. Oh, luckily, most of the Youth Orchestra musicians were able to leave the country and continue to receive lessons beneath, also toured with them in europe. One emotional highlight was playing maria city by salton mossey from key iv dedicated to the victims of the bombing of the mario pl theater said to contact in following you let my last concert in bolona. I performed beethovens 9th symphony at should. It was unsettling to re read, shall, as larry exact, where it says it, all people become brothers, aha, amend. At the end, it says that the shouldnt be tyrants or executioners and hank again, against tyrants and dictators like great artists of the past asana. Linny will not give up for 1970 to munich olympics were supposed to be the happy games, but the terrorist attack of the israeli team turned them into a tragedy capture to broadcast but the press. What road did the Media Coverage play less than 30 years after the end of the nazi era. The 1972 olympics and munich was supposed to be an opportunity for the young federal republic of germany to present itself as a modern open and cosmopolitan democracy. Germans wanted to show that the nation responsible for the holocaust had changed for the better you know, to have the all new manga for people in germany. Were still looking forward to getting some recognition from the world. They hoped, as if they were really gratified enthusiastic and proud as thats good. Oh, the design of the 1972 games was a clear departure from the marshall look of the last olympics. Germany had hosted in 1936 when soldiers had marched for and saluted hitler, witless favorite director. Lenny reference style delivered the desired aesthetics complete with steely strong bodies, and heroic poses the 1972 games and to show that was history. The country was proud to welcome thousands of athletes from a 121 countries in the specially built olympia, ah, poor, hes i, the architecture was meant to symbolize that and especially as it offers a striking contrast to balance Olympic Stadium. Bang berlin, 1936 Olympic Stadium was an imposing edifice that embodied the knots is mc la mania. This is its airy counterpart built for the 1972 games that babylon. The stadium in munich was even described as a modern tent riff and as a tent for stack, as that might only be in town for a short time before leaving the city again. I listened that it was supposed to symbolize lightness and transience in courts violence. Tied them bullies yet the roof appears to float weightlessness over the top. Its transparent and elegant design reflected the game spirit as wendy and tom, if you think of the brightly colored seeds and even the flags in green and blue, the whole visual conception of the Olympic Games vital that will, id say this design really captures the image they wanted to present i las vegas birth permitted a visionary logo park posters and plenty of personal tones that stood in stark contrast to the nazis color schemes. The design of the pictograms was cutting edge and there was the cute little mascot, but excellent cloudy. The uniforms of the limbic hostesses were from the same color palette, including a modern joyful blue, shallow took no props. Daughter, a young Jewish High School graduate, worked as a hostess to her though these its, she got this beautiful light blue suit on the young ladys duties involved looking after the guests of cleveland. It was a very nice job and she got to know a lot of people. She was very happy with well for the young people. It was great, a kind of journey out into the world and he will and the world was watching. Never had so many reporters flocked to a sporting event. Its spectacular days were meant to be seen by everyone. The world was invited to munich and ready to accept germany again including israel. Even athletes whose families were victims of the holocaust made their way to munich. For the israeli team, it was a, it was a hugely symbolic gesture just to go. And i think it was maybe one of the 1st times that a at a sizable israeli sporting contingent had gone to germany to complete and so on. I think the and i think that i think, you know, the germans were very aware of that at the high, symbolically important. This was any, is that asia father to see in his railey flag over the Olympic Stadium in munich after such a relatively short time really was a sensation and his and everything was working that the little 20th it was thought restrictive security plan might damp. And this euphoria and nothing was supposed to recall german militarism and the police stain. No one wanted to hear the experts, warnings, although there was evidence of possible attacks. And so on september, 5th, palestinian terrorists were able to enter the Olympic Village unhindered. The terror group at the black september held 11 members if the israeli team hostage in their own rooms and shot 2 of them for the assailants principal demand, the release of more than 200. 00 palestinians, most of whom were imprisoned in israel. Negotiations with the German Government went no way as the terrorist attempted to fly away with the hostages. The situation escalated into a fierce firefight when it was over 5 palestinian terrorists were dead. But so were the 11 israeli athletes and a german policeman. At the memorial service, Avery Brundage president of the International Olympic committee stated the game law. It was a highly controversial decision. In the end, it was a refusal to bow to terrorism and to defense at the olympic ideal as the world looked on. Because a 1000000000 view, as in 98 countries were watching live, it was an unprecedented media spectacle. And as if to nearly with i needed soiled lindseys annoyance. It was the start of a new era of multi media. There founded in the 1970s sales of tv. Its got a huge boost due to be olympics, as, as you can really see how the sporting events increase sales of color movies, especially guided us pop, found in of a 4000. 00 reporters were on site nearly twice as many as in mexico, 4 years before. And they reported live to a world audience morning, noon and night, that set an ideal stage for the attackers, allowing them to forcibly redirect the global spotlight onto the middle east conflict. Like an attack, after the attack, a ton of septembers members said, attacking the vatican or the white house wouldnt have given us the same Media Attention as the Olympic Games did. Because the press was already on site. They were already there. I live, im from around the wild. Yvonne National Life stopped by an International Audience was already gathered in front of that t v. s. And i was watching that on the terrorists and take advantage of that time and sounds f as amazon. Thats what the games will well underway when the 1st reports of the crisis in the Olympic Village came trickling out. No one knew what to make of the situation. Neither the organizes nor the reporters. From todays perspective, thats really hard to imagine. The games were carrying on in the stadium at the same time as there was this hostage crisis, just hundreds of meters away. There was a dead athlete lying in the, in one of the apartments there immediately a few 100 yards from that, from, from where the games were continue. They had never been a scenario. Anything like it in the history of life reporting broadcast is around the world, switched back and forth between the Sports Events and the hostage crisis. Journalist scramble to secure the best spot. But reliable information was still hot to come by. Shallow took no block found after the media that as a hostess on the olympic side, her daughter could be in danger too. As celia trinity, she was already gone. When i heard on the radio, how there had been an attack. And they couldnt report any more details on her. Mechanically, it is finished. I cried because that news didnt give you the slightest idea what was going on. And they didnt know if it is Something Else coming. Whats going to happen . Thats why. It wasnt until the evening that the call came. Charlotte, his daughter was safe, but for the relatives of these reilly athletes, the nightmare continued. Most of the journalists were sports reporters, entirely overwhelmed. They provided running commentary on the events following every step. Even the positions of the snipers, we see the footage of the police on the rooftops going closer to the address like athlete said case theyre seen there. You are. Just look at their athletes on the roof. Why they would be out on the roof. I dont know, but then at a certain point we realize that the palestinians could see them on television, and that the germans have forgotten to tell the television stations to stop filming. As asked who the terrorists had found out that site is were getting in position 3, press coverage and reacted to that information. And thats when it dawned on everyone. Okay, we have to do something. We cant just sit back and keep rolling our cameras and basically give the terrorists the heads up. Yet the journalist remained on the scene of the 1st live act of terrorism to be broadcast around the world. Even as a hostage situation progressed into a knee by military, airport members of the media swarmed the area, making it difficult for the special task force to get through. This too took place before rolling cameras around midnight. A government spokesman wrongly announced that all the terrorists were dead, and all hostages had been rescued. His source, a false report from an International News agency, a mistake that hasnt been explained to this day. 3 hours later, the terrible truth emerges. All 11 israeli hostages had been killed. The massacre left the world stunned, bringing shame and embarrassment to the German Authorities involved. So many people ended up dead largely because of the bad handling of it by the German Authorities. That this restrict really tragic, becomes in front of the world. You know, the whole world was we was watching this whole were was holding their breath. Ah, the trauma of munich still echoes through the collective consciousness. 50 he is on the scars remain. The he is asthma like that. A very brundage quote on the games must go on, be that there is such an images that dominate our collective memory of that event along. And those are a product of the media does not the of media like this image, a photo of a terrorist on the balcony than they had see a desert aus good. If you look at the holiday eyes, and the very Straight Lines are the, is, and that those evoke feelings of deaf orders for drama. The anthea anchor eda, a fact even now they reflect the feelings people associate with the attack that isnt and tax boom filmmaker, kevin mcdonald, felt the tragedy of september. The 5th had all the elements of a thriller. His Academy Award winning documentary is compiled entirely from Archive Footage. I wonder if you could make a documentary using all real material, real people that actually also operated like a thriller but told a story like a thriller. Were finding so much Archive Footage everywhere in the world, india, japan, i think in the film to Something Like 50 country huskerson during his meticulous research, mcdonald found countless inconsistencies cold his documentary raise some uneasy questions with Decision Makers in germany, and i then refer brendan dunn as are the minister, i think i have to go to look for what the police is doing. And then i went to the captain of the police, sir, company there, and said, do something they did to anything i have not of the film shows the disastrous entanglement, but in german politics and mass media at the time germany trying to show the world that its changed that you know, you can have a totally pacifist peaceful dames where even the, the Police Officers were dressed in these blue hurry, he kind of welcoming new uniforms. So they didnt look militaristic. And then this event happens and everyone phrases like a, like a rabbit cotton ahead lives, because its the worst possible thing that can happen. A tragedy. Inadvertently facilitated by germanys desire to show the world, it was a democratic and rehabilitated country.
