Traces the long and ferocious rivalry between Coke and Pepsi, centered on the "New Coke" debacle of 1985.

But in 1985, in a stranger-than-fiction twist, Coca-Cola's executives took a step so daring that no one in either company could believe it: they changed the formula of the most popular beverage on the planet.

Король Биби
Self (archive footage)
Казалось бы, герой фильма ежедневно у всех на виду. Чем нас можно удивить? Авторы пытаются разгадать тайну личности самого неоднозначного политика израильской современности. В фильме нет бесконечных интервью с "экспертами", психоаналитиками, политическими комментаторами, как нет и домашних съёмок в кругу семьи. Режиссёр разумно самоустранился, чтобы дать слово своему герою. И тот заговорил. С годами менялся он сам, менялся мир, менялся Израиль, но одно оставалось неизменным: магия слов Биньямина Нетаниягу, наделённого от природы выигрышным хрипловатым баритоном, о котором может мечтать каждый политик.

John Hankey sets out to establish his opinions as infallible fact. Making long leaps based on the thinnest thread of circumstantial evidence does not make it fact. It makes it one mans opinion.
