Synopsis

Using never-seen-before 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 Netanyahu’s to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.

The documentary is banned in Israel.

“It’s unlikely that Netanyahu was going to give his permission,” said producer Alex Gibney. “There’s a legal restriction at the moment in Israel, by agreement with the source. Everywhere else in the world, there’s no restriction. So, we plan to distribute it as widely as possible and still stay within the bounds of our promise, or my promise, to the source.”
