The Gatekeepers, an Oscar-nominated documentary directed by Dror Moreh, studies the interrogation methods used by Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet, when looking for terrorists within the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Sol Stern critics the movie and compares it to Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, a movie that depicts the search for Osama bin Laden.
