Inspirées par les révolutions étudiantes de 1968, deux femmes, Ulrike Meinhof et Fusako Shigenobu, respectivement en Allemagne et au Japon ont commandité les groupes révolutionnaires des Red Army Faction (Rotee Armee Fraktion) et Japanese Red Army (日本赤軍).

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.

Told mostly from the young men's point of view, the film highlights on their political past growing up in a conservative town while they held more liberal, anti-war beliefs. These beliefs led them down a path towards a well-known activist, Brandon Darby, who made a name for himself for his work with hurricane Katrina victims. Known as an aggressive and no-nonsense activist, Darby had credibility from his affiliation with theCommon Ground Collective or Common Ground Relief which worked to secure aid for hurricane victims.
