This will tell the story of the Mossad agents who were suspicious of the assassination of members of the Black September terrorist organization, which was behind the murder of the Israeli sports delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The series is expected to be 8 episodes, follow the personal story of a number of Mossad and terrorist officials and is expected to present a "balanced perspective" between the Israeli angle on the issue and the Palestinian one. All this to the background of the transformations in Europe of the 1970s, and the changes in world politics that motivated these actions. Her story will be spread across several countries, including Israel, Lebanon, France, Germany and Italy, and will be spoken in several languages.
