Alamo Drafthouse employees petition to scrap screenings of 1972 Munich film ‘September 5’

JL;DR SUMMARY Employees at the Alamo Drafthouse in New York City have petitioned to halt screenings of Tim Fehlbaum's film "September 5," which focuses on the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre, labeling it as Zionist propaganda.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
