Memorial for Munich Massacre 43 Years on

Its been more than 40 years since two members of the Israeli Olympic team were killed by Palestinian militants at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.

Now, a new film is re-examining the events of September 1972 - the attacks, the deaths and the legacy.

The film's director Stephen Crisman, says his work is about "peeling back layers".

Work has now started on a permanent memorial to the events of 1972, and Crisman says the chosen design will be particularly emotive.
