Perhaps the most amazing thing about “The Gatekeepers” is not just what these men say, but the fact that they are even saying it at all. This Academy Award-nominated documentary from director Dror Moreh gathers all six surviving heads of Shin Bet, the secretive Israeli security agency. In personal interviews accompanied by newsreel footage, it recounts the history of Israel over the past few decades, as the tiny Jewish nation struggled to gain legitimacy surrounded by Muslim aggressors, and to address the issue of Palestinians living within its borders.
