A sobering, intellectually rigorous documentary that uses intimate interviews with security officials to interrogate decades of counterterrorism strategy, moral compromise, and the unresolved question of whether security justifies its human cost.

In an unprecedented and candid series of interviews, six former heads of the Shin Bet — Israel's intelligence and security agency — speak about their role in Israel's decades-long counterterrorism campaign, discussing their controversial methods and whether the ends ultimately justify the means.
