A Rave for The Gatekeepers

This is our first guest post, from long-time FRONTLINE producer Steve Talbot,  who I worked with  closely on several films, including the very entertainingThe Long March of Newt Gingrich .  
.

Steve  recently  emailed his friends after screening The Gatekeepers in San Francisco.

Friends,

Go see The Gatekeepers, if you have a chance. Best serious docu in a movie theater in a long time.

Six former heads of the Israeli secret service/intell agency Shin Bet.

Incredible access, and the discussion of politics, morality and war is  intelligent,  bracing, disturbing and very dark. Reminiscent of "The Fog of War."

For those of you in San Francisco, it just opened at the Embarcadero.

(And here is a link to screenings in other cities. )


A Very accurate review in the NY Times...
