Guaranteed to trouble any one, left, right, center or head in the sand, with confidence or certainty in his or her own opinions.

The high-quality archival footage and operation simulations help the talking-head assembly play well on the bigscreen, and a brooding score rounds out the solid tech package.
-Justin Chang, Variety
The most dramatic political documentary in years.

Synopsis
Ninety hours of interviews with six former heads of Shin Bet (Israel’s top security agency) are condensed into a thought provoking, informative, and insightful documentary that examines Israel’s counterterrorism operations. The visually captivating documentary sheds light on the decision making process of these men as well as the morally ambiguous world in which they functioned; all within Israel’s political climate and historical context.Theatrical Release Date
