Secret, unseen recordings of police interrogations form the basis of this film, banned in Israel, about the corruption trial of Benjamin Netanyahu
Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has been under investigation by Israeli authorities for corruption for the past eight years. The film is based on recordings of police interrogations, which director Alexis Bloom came into possession of in early 2023. Bibi was never willing to give up power, offering a platform to the far right. His efforts to avoid a confrontation have shaken the country’s stability and global equilibrium. An intense chronicle that sheds light not only on Netanyahu’s character, but on the inner circle of people around him, and shows how his unscrupulous nature has heavily shaped the Middle East today.
