A BBC documentary alleging Israel possesses non-conventional weapons airs first in Britain in March 2003, then reruns weeks later on a BBC channel broadcast worldwide, and this film covers what happens next. Before the rerun, Israeli officials lobby the BBC directly to pull the program, arguing it portrays the country as an "evil dictatorship." When the broadcast goes ahead anyway, Israel's public relations forum, made up of representatives from the Prime Minister's Office, the Foreign Ministry, and the Government Press Office, votes to cut official ties with the network: government offices stop assisting BBC producers, ministers refuse interview requests, and the Government Press Office moves to block press cards and work visas for BBC staff. The film uses archival news footage and interviews with officials and journalists on both sides to lay out the mechanics of a government boycotting a major broadcaster over a single program, and what that standoff reveals about the leverage states hold over foreign press access.
