Director Dror Moreh discusses his Oscar-nominated doc The Gatekeepers: Israel Confidential, and its profound impact in reversing Israeli opposition to the two-state solution. Interviewed for the first time ever, each of the six surviving heads of Shin Bet, Israel’s secret domestic counterterrorism agency, reveals past decisions with bone-chilling frankness—and each reaches a unexpected conclusion about what Israel must do now. Pirate Jenny ("zhydovka") and Dror also talk about misguided belief of some American Jews that Israel ia haven, the equally misguided and somewhat anti-Semitic belief among non-Jews that all Jews are pro-Zionist, and what it feels like to achieve every documentarian’s dream. Check out other Oscars- 2013 podcasts below, and tune in next week for Oscars-interview #4, with Pablo Larrain, director of No, up for Best Feature Film, which oddly enough is being released next week rather than this.
