Dror Moreh a décidé de réaliser ce film après avoir mesuré l'importance décisive du Shabak (Shin Beth) sur la scène politique israélienne depuis quarante ans. Ces six directeurs à la retraite de la sécurité israélienne évoquent leurs victoires et les échecs passés sans nostalgie. Très critiques vis-à-vis des politiques menées par leurs gouvernements (à l'exception de celui d'Yitzhak Rabin), ils défendent tous un changement radical de politique en Israël : la recherche de la paix et la reconnaissance au plus tôt de l’État palestinien.

Le Guêpier est un film révolutionnaire en immersion qui raconte l'histoire, à partir d'images réelles sans précédent, d'un groupe d'élite de soldats américains envovés dans une mission dangereuse au plus profond d'une des vallées les plus hostiles d'Afghanistan. Ce qui devait être au départ une opération d'une journée s'est transformé en neuf jours intenses de combat éprouvant contre un ennemi invisible et hostile sur un terrain difficile où aucune troupe étrangère n'avait osé pénétrer auparavant. Deux journalistes embarqués, un père et son fils ont courageusement suivi les troupes sur le champ de bataille le plus violent et le plus ensanalanté du conflit. Il en résulte une expérience cinématographique brute et intense qui offre au public une vision authentique et émouvante de l'héroïsme au centre de cette histoire captivante.

Jugée trop « compatissante » envers les japonais, et coupée au montage par l’État-Major américain, cette reconstitution hautement réaliste reçut néanmoins l’Oscar® du meilleur documentaire en 1943.

Dieter Dengler, a German-born U.S. Navy pilot in squadron VA-145, is shot down in his A-1 Skyraider over Laos in February 1966, while on a combat mission. He survives the crash only to be pursued, and ultimately captured, by the Pathet Lao. Dengler is given the chance for leniency by the Province Governor if he signs a document condemning America, but he refuses. He is tortured and taken to a prison camp. There he meets fellow American military soldiers and pilots, such as Gene DeBruin and Duane W. Martin, along with Y.C., Procet, and Phisit, some of whom have been captive for years. Dengler begins planning an escape, much to the disbelief of his fellow combatants, who have been downtrodden through physical and psychological torture by the camp guards.
