Honorable Men - The Rise and Fall of Ehud Olmert

Honorable Men is a gripping political thriller - style documentary by Roni Aboulafia, chronicling the meteoric rise and dramatic fall of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert - from the nation’s highest office to serving time in Maasiyahu Prison. With unprecedented access to Olmert, the film weaves exclusive interviews, never-before-seen investigative materials, and behind-the-scenes political maneuvering into a compelling portrait of a complex man. It unpacks the 16 corruption investigations that engulfed him, the forces that sought his downfall, and the seismic political stakes surrounding his unprecedented stance on peace with the Palestinians. Moving between an intimate portrayal of Olmert’s prison life and a sharp investigation into the hidden mechanisms of political power, the film challenges audiences to reconsider what they believe about justice, truth, and the lengths powerful interests will go to shape the fate of leaders - and the future of the Middle East.
