The Bibi Files

Date : Thursday, January 23, 2025

The Bibi Files is a documentary with never-before-seen interrogation footage of Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle.

Overview

Just shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars! The Bibi Files is a documentary with never-before-seen interrogation footage of Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle. The film provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines.

Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement leads to corruption and the unwillingness of the Netanyahu’s to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.

Director Alexis Bloom will be in attendance for a special post-screening Q&A
moderated by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and New York Times best-selling author Thomas L. Friedman.

Thomas L. Friedman is an internationally known author, reporter, and columnist; recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes; and author of seven best-selling books: From Beirut to Jerusalem; The Lexus and the Olive Tree; Longitudes and Attitudes; The World Is Flat; Hot, Flat, and Crowded; That Used to Be Us, which he co-wrote with Michael Mandelbaum and Thank you For Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations.

Friedman’s foreign affairs column in The New York Times, which he has written since 1995, reports on US domestic politics and foreign policy, Middle East conflicts, international economics, environment, biodiversity, and energy. He has been with The New York Times since 1981.
