Ten years after the Rabin assassination, new findings about the night of the murder are revealed and powerful questions arise.

For the first time, the film discloses the late Prime Minister’s clothes, in which a third hole is discovered in the front of his shirt and undershirt respectively, and which was never spoken of, seen or investigated.

The assassination

Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated on the night of November 4^th, 1995, by two bullets to his back fired by the murderer Yigal Amir.  The bullets were found in the Prime Minister’s body. The first and third "hollow point" bullets struck the Prime Minister and were found in his body. The second plain bullet struck Yoram Rubin, head of the security unit.

The Film

Exhausting research enabled the filmakers access to the clothes that the Prime Minister’s wore on the night of the murder.  A third hole, never mentioned, never investigated and never accounted for, is discovered on the front of the Prime Minister’s shirt and undershirt. Filmmakers Naftaly Gliksberg, Arik Bernstein and Nurit Kedar reenact the night of the murder in an attempt to gain insight into this findings. Why was such an important detail never mentioned? Was it human error, or an attempt to conceal information? Was every detail examined?

The film, based on a year of in depth research, revisits the conclusions of the Special Inquiry Commission headed by Chief Justice Shamgar, and investigates the performance of the various authorities involved: the General Security Services (GSS), the Police Force, the State Attorney’s Office, the judicial system and the media – before, during and after the murder.

The film includes interviews with the State Prosecutor in the murder trial, Pnina Guy, the physicians who attended to Rabin in the emergency room, pathologist Prof. Yehuda Hiss, Chief Justice Meir Shamgar who headed the Official Commission Inquiry, GSS top officials Hezi Kalo, Savinoam Avivi and Rafi Malka, General Yaacov Shoval of the Israel Police Central District and many others involved in the case.  In addition, the film introduces the expert opinions of two top forensic investigators, one from Israel and the other from Britain, who examined the third hole.

Murder for Life is a dramatized documentary (ReDrama), tracing the events surrounding the most perturbing murder case in Israel’s history, in which Amos Baranes was convicted for the murder of servicewoman Rachel Heller. After the Courts’ rejection of three previous retrial requests over 28 years of legal battles, Baranes finally became the first man in global legal history to win an acquittal. A sensational retrial  revealed a conspiracy to point the finger at someone as the murderer at any price; over-zealous efforts made by the Police, dubious evidence, and the prosecution that lead to use of illegitimate means to extract a false confession.

This film has a unique style.  By means of drama, the real heroes of this saga re-enact their own personal stories. Amos Baranes; the defense lawyers; Police Commanders and others, reconstruct the events of this case with the support of a screenplay, directing, cinematography and editing that make this film a dramatic narrative in every sense.
