September 5 reminded me a lot of Civil War, except confined to one building. The journalist perspective on what would otherwise be an action or thriller film isn't for everyone, but at a compact 90-minute runtime, I would watch this again before I'd rewatch Munich.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, real-time chronicle of journalists caught between their duty to report and the weight of broadcasting a tragedy as it unfolds. The film traps you in the control room, where every editorial decision carries moral stakes.
