E416. Inside the Most Precise Spy Operation in History | Justin Folk - Walk-Ins Welcome

Bridget sits down with Justin Folk — the filmmaker behind What Is a Woman?, Am I Racist?, and No Safe Spaces — to talk about his new documentary Paging Hezbollah, the inside story of the Mossad operation that detonated thousands of pagers and took 3,000 Hezbollah fighters off the battlefield in a single moment. Folk explains how he got unprecedented on-camera access to Netanyahu and the director of Mossad, why the operation reshaped the entire Middle East, and how he went about making the documentary. They also get into the history of Hezbollah and Iran, the roots of antisemitism, the strange “obsession” with Israel, and how comedy and storytelling actually win culture wars.
