Global Screen Sells Munich ’72 Doc

Global Screen has notched up a new raft of deals for the documentary Munich ’72, a co-production with Sipur (formerly Tadmor Entertainment) and Israel’s Channel 8.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the slaughter of Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games, Munich ’72 also traces the origins of modern terror to this day. The doc has been picked up by Poland’s Canal+, Italian broadcaster La 7, Slovenia’s RTV and Spain’s Filmin.

“We are seeing strong sales momentum for Munich ’72 heading into MIPCOM and are in advanced negotiations with a number of other buyers that we will be meeting with there,” said Julia Weber, Global Screen’s head of international sales and acquisitions. “We expect those deals to be announced very soon.”
