The Gatekeepers (Hebrew: שומרי הסף, romanized: Shomrei HaSaf) is a 2012 internationally co-produced documentary film by director Dror Moreh that tells the story of the Israeli internal security service, Shin Bet (known in Hebrew as 'Shabak'), from the perspective of six of its former heads.
The film combines in-depth interviews, archival footage, and computer animation to recount the role that the group played in Israel's security from the Six-Day War to the present.[3] The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards.[4]
