The Bibi Files
Using never-before-seen police interrogation recordings, this exposé on Benjamin Netanyahu and his closest allies takes an unvarnished look behind the headlines. Driven by vanity and a sense of total impunity, the Israeli prime minister evades justice and clings to power at all costs. The film scrutinises the corruption cases that culminated in his 2019 indictment for breach of trust, bribery, and fraud. Through meticulous chronological editing, South African director Alexis Bloom argues that Netanyahu has every incentive to prolong the invasion of Gaza, thus eluding – for now – his legal difficulties.
Shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars in the documentary category.
