King Bibi
Year: 2018
Country:
ISRAEL, USA
Language:
Hebrew
Run Time:
87 minutes
Because his father’s right-wing views were condemned by the Israeli government, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu was raised and educated in the United States. When his brother, Yoni, was killed in the Israeli raid on Entebbe in 1976, Bibi made studying and defeating terrorism his life’s mission. His knowledge and camera-ready personality won him favor in American political circles and the media, elements he quickly learned to influence. At the age of 35, he was appointed Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., before finally becoming the Prime Minister of Israel and a powerful world leader. KING BIBI is an unsparing and unsettling documentary charting Netanyahu’s controversial and meteoric rise. Whether you regard Netanyahu as hero or villain, this fascinating film has much to teach about world politics, and it will resonate deeply with our own events in the United States. The world order is a marionette manipulated by a handful of individuals. Here is a chance to learn about one who, both deeply loved and passionately hated, has the power to pull the strings. (In English and Hebrew with subtitles) —C.R.
