In this Oscar-nominated, educational, controversial, thought-provoking, 96-minute documentary that consists of still photographs and archival film footage, retired Shin Bet leaders Yuval Diskin, Ami Ayalon, Avi Dichter, Carmi Gillon, Yaakov Peri, and Avraham Shalom give candid interviews in an attempt to provide an insightful, in-depth look into the inner workings of the Israeli security agency, which was founded in 1949, and its mandate to protect Israel and its government officials, to prevent Palestinian and Islamic terrorism by gathering intel and interrogating suspected terrorists, and to retaliate against terrorist attacks through government-sanctioned, counterterrorism tactics in the West Bank and and Gaza Strip.
