This film tells the remarkable, timely and controversial story of Benjamin Netanyahu’s rise to power, reflected through four decades of public appearances that changed Israel forever. “Bibi,” as he is known, evolved from Israel's great political hope, to a controversial figure whom some perceive as Israel's savior, and others as a cynical politician who will stop at nothing to retain his power. According to Director Dan Shadur, it is Bibi’s obsession with his reputation that threatens his rule.
