lage, the kidnaping, the
flight to the NATO airport,
leading to the massacre of
11 Israeli athletes by Pales-
tinian terrorists.
The 44-year-old film pro-
ducer who made the docu-
mentary feature, "Rise and
Fall of the Third Reich,"
from the book by William L.
Shirer, last year presenting
a musical film photographed
in its entirety at Geiselgas-
teig Studios of Bavaria, re-
turned to Munich two
months ago to catch with
several national units and
multiple cameras the official
events of the Sports Olym-
pics.

The only documentary
filmmaker on the scene
when tragedy struck, Wolper
dispatched seven camera
crews to the location, shar-
ing the direction with Claude
Lelouch, the French director
of "A Man and A Woman,"
who as a Jewish child had
been an inmate at Dachau
concentration camp — some
ten miles from Munich. It
was Lelouch who stood be-
hind the camera at the air-
port during the gun battle
between Arab outlaws and
German police; yet, this spe-
cific footage became too
dark for processing because
the terrorists had shot up the
searchlight facilities.

Last summer Wolper pho-
tographed a less demanding
event, "Wattstax '72," a
musical portraying the Black-
American experience reflect-
ed in a six-hour concert dur-
ing the Wattstax Festival at
the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum. The musical show
was filmed in its entirety,
with additional material to be
photographed on a junket
throughout the country.
Wolper, America's most
outstan ding documentary
producer today, combines
the Jewish heritage with the
cultural lineage of the Black
minority to create a musical
hymn to the folklore of
America.
Joseph E. Levine is pro-
ducing and Richard Attenbo-
rough will direct the film
story of "Ghandi," presently
being written by Robert Bolt,
Academy Award winner for
"Dr. Zhivago" and "A Man
for All Seasons." The motion
picture dealing with the life
and death of the first Indian
prime minister, will go be-
fore the cameras on actual
locations early in 1973.
