King Bibi
Self (archive footage)
Veinte años antes del espectáculo de Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu ya entendía los beneficios políticos de una relación tóxica con los medios de comunicación y la comunicación directa con el público. El rey Bibi explora el ascenso de Netanyahu al poder, basándose únicamente en imágenes de archivo de sus actuaciones en los medios a lo largo de los años: desde sus días como un popular experto invitado en la televisión estadounidense,a través de su confesión pública de adulterio y su dominio del arte de las redes sociales. De un estudio a otro, "Bibi" evolucionó de la gran esperanza política de Israel, a una figura controvertida a quien algunos perciben como el salvador de Israel, y otros, como un político cínico que no se detendrá ante nada para retener su poder.
