THE BIBI FILES
Alexis Bloom / 2024 / 115' / USA
The Bibi Files exposes just how far Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to go to cling to power. With unprecedented access to footage from his interrogations, the film captures him theatrically denying corruption charges while facing investigators. The accusations include lavish gifts from businessmen – champagne, cigars, and jewelry – in exchange for political favors and positive media coverage. It is speculated that the war in Gaza is being deliberately prolonged to delay a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Netanyahu unsuccessfully tried to block the film in court – and the reason why becomes clear.
