Alex Gibney Accuses BBC Of “Bending Knee” To Benjamin Netanyahu By Rejecting ‘The Bibi Files’
Alex Gibney, the Oscar-winning documentary maker, has accused the BBC of "bending the knee" to Benjamin Netanyahu by rejecting 'The Bibi Files.'
He produced The Bibi Files, which draws upon leaked videos of the police interrogation of Netanyahu on charges that he accepted gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for political favors. It is likely The Bibi Files was pitched for the BBC’s Storyville strand, which has not shied away from the Middle East conflict, premiering the Nova Music Festival massacre film Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again earlier this year. The Bibi Files screened as a work in progress at the Toronto International Film Festival in October, and made its official world premiere last month at DOC NYC.
