The Gatekeepers

A chilling documentary containing interviews with six surviving members of Shin Bet, the branch of Israeli Intelligence tasked with eliminating terrorists. The six don't recall their time in the agency with great vigor, but with a great sense of darkness, as if they are permanently damaged from the experience. Director Dror Moreh conducts these interviews mercilessly, getting surprising amounts of information from his incredibly candid subjects. They share inside information on everything from the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to the circumstances behind the 1984 Bus 300 affair, when the Shin Bet executed two Palestinian bus hijackers. Watching this movie is a truly shocking experience.
