Summary
"On September 6, 1970, members of the militant Palestinian group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), hijacked four commercial airplanes. They commandeered a fifth aircraft three days later. Wanting to attract attention to the Palestinian cause and secure the release of several of their comrades, the PFLP spectacularly blew up three of the planes ... More than just recounting the events of those tense September days, [the film] examines how and when Middle East militants began to see civilians as legitimate pawns in their struggles for self-determination"--Container
