STORY 

"Using never-seen-before interrogation footage of Netanyahu, his family, his closest associates, and benefactors, Director Alexis Bloom and Oscar-winning Producer Alex Gibney uncover high-level familial corruption and the disastrous lengths a political leader will go to escape accountability. The Bibi Files is a film about a man singularly focused on his own political survival in a region beset by war. Leaked footage from police interrogation videos are interwoven with archival footage that shows Netanyahu’s rise to power, and how his nearly 30-year rule as Prime Minister has divided the state of Israel. Interspersed throughout are interviews with prominent journalists, Israeli statesmen, Netanyahu's associates, and longtime friends, whose observations and anecdotes reveal a chilling portrait of a leader who, in his drive to evade justice, has aligned himself with radical right-wing extremists. Netanyahu’s fixation on his entitlement to remain Prime Minister has, in this way, led to political decisions that have endangered Israel’s safety, and destroyed her standing as a democracy in the Middle East."
