Alex Gibney has made dozens of terrific documentaries. So has Lexi Bloom.
But Gibney says their film, “The Bibi Files,” about the corruption and crimes of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has not gotten one bite from a distributor or a streamer.
Gibney writers on Twitter:
“I want to tell a story. I was leaked never-before-seen police interrogation videos from the Netanyahu corruption case. They shed light on Bibi’s corruption – from cheap bribes to the way he has ruthlessly embarked on a forever war in Gaza. I asked Alexis Bloom to direct a film about it which she did: “The Bibi Files.” It is a scathing and coruscating behind-the-scenes look at how his venal attempts to elude judgement and stay in power have cost over 50,000 lives and are taking us to the brink of WWIII. Shocker: to date, no mainstream outlet will show the film in the US. So, we have partnered with a new outlet called http://Jolt.film, so that Americans can see the film. Jolt is an alternative that will allow independent cinema to thrive. Please check it out.”
