The Gatekeepers (Hebrew: שומרי הסף) is a 2012 documentary film by director Dror Moreh that tells the storey of the Israeli internal security service Shin Bet from the perspective of six of its former heads. Combining in-depth interviews with archival footage and computer animation , the movie recounts the role that the group played in Israel's security from the Six-Day War to the present. The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards. According to Moreh, the problem was getting the "Gatekeepers", or former heads of the Shin Bet, to agree to appear on camera and discuss their work and opinions. Given the secretive nature of the organization, none of them had ever done this before, and many of the topics he hoped to discuss with them were either classified or highly sensitive.

Although the films release was very limited, the film has garnered substantial attention from film critics. The New York Times critic A. O. Scott called the film the best documentary of 2012, deeming it "essential, eye-opening viewing if you think you understand the Middle East", while for Times critic Manohla Dargis it is one of the top ten movies of the year. Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal, called The Gatekeepers one of the 10 best films of 2012. The film, notes Morgenstern, "brings together all the surviving directors of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency. What these tough and tough-minded men have to say about Israeli politicians, and the nation's current stance vis à vis its enemies, is stunning and edifying in equal measure". The film went on to receive the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Documentary Film and was named the Best Nonfiction Film of 2012 by the National Society of Film Critics.
