THE GATEKEEPERS
Documentary
REVIEW
Similar to the security branches in the USA with the FBI
handling domestic issues and the CIA the ones abroad, the State of Israel has
two agencies: the Sherut haBitachon haKlal, better known by its English acronym
Shin Bet and Mossad.
Six former heads of Shin Bet speak frankly about their time
in office and the major events that they oversaw. In total there are seven
segments ranging from the original inception of the agency to coping with Jewish
terrorism, dealing with the Palestinian situation and the aftermath of the Oslo
Peace Process.
In each instance archival film footage or CGI recreations
gives us some idea of what transpired but they were all too brief as many of
these events are not something most of us are familiar with. This shortcoming
results in more questions than answers for the average viewer.
