The filmmakers were leaked damning, never-before-seen footage police interrogation videos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his family, his closest associates, and benefactors as part of a corruption investigation. The leaked footage indicates a steady and continuous pattern of lavish gift-giving and quid pro quo favours in the media and business worlds. The interrogation videos are interwoven with archival footage that show 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 associates, and longtime friends, whose observations and anecdotes paint a chilling portrait of a leader who, in his effort to avoid justice has allied 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.

The parallels between Netanyahu’s rule and the threats posed by autocrats and extremists in other prominent democracies are clear.
