The Bibi Files

Using leaked, never-before-seen interrogation footage, The Bibi Files provides an unflinching look into Benjamin Netanyahu’s inner circle and a private world of alleged bribery and fraud. His corruption is more than a scandal—it is a gateway for the far-right to consolidate power. As Netanyahu embraces their extremism to shield himself from legal consequences, the cost is measured in human lives. The film exposes how his political survival is intertwined with policies that fuel deadly violence—headlines that continue to unfold before our eyes. A bold and urgent documentary that challenges viewers to confront the reality behind the rhetoric.

Using police interrogation footage of Netanyahu, his family, his closest associates, and benefactors, director Alexis Bloom uncovers 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 interrogation videos is 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 journalists, Israeli statesmen, Netanyahu’s associates, and longtime friends. Their 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 its standing as a democracy in the Middle East.
