The Bibi Files

Q&A with filmmaker Alexis Bloom and producer Alex Gibney, moderated by JBFC Board President Janet Maslin

2024. 115 m. Alexis Bloom. Jolt. US. English. Rated NR.

Series

Using never-before-seen interrogation footage, this investigation of Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines. Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement leads to corruption, and the unwillingness of the Netanyahus to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.
