Prisoner X: The Mossad Agent Hidden by Israel

Video Description

In December 2010, a man was found dead in one of Israel’s most secure prisons. For months he had no name, no official record, and no crime the guards could speak of. He was known only as “Prisoner X.” Silenced by a sweeping gag order, the truth stayed hidden until years later when his identity was revealed: Ben Zygier, an Australian Jew and alleged Mossad operative. This documentary unravels the mystery of Zygier’s secret life and sudden death, exposing the clash between ambition and failure, loyalty and betrayal — and asking the uncomfortable question: What happens when a government decides a man’s very existence must be erased? Directors: Hilla Medalia, Amos Roberts
