Alex Gibney's Documentary Work is Proof that "Truth is Always Stranger than Fiction"

The Lincoln Project

Prolific and multi-award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney, who's responsible for the most impactful documentaries of our time -- i.e., Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of BeliefThe Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon ValleyTotally Under Control, and MANY more --sits down with Rick Wilson to discuss his portfolio of work and how it reflects on the American character. 

Alex's most recent project, The Bibi Files, uses never-seen-before interrogation footage to tell the story of an investigation into Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle and provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines. Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement lead to corruption and the unwillingness of the Netanyahus to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.
