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 4th, 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.

The sensational espionage story of Udi Adiv - first grandson of the Gan Shmuel Kibbutz and paratrooper from among the Western Wall liberators during the Six-Day War, who was accused of spying for Syria - was one of the most exciting events in Israel during the early 70s.
During the 1950s, a friend of the Adiv family, Uri Ilan, emerged from the same kibbutz (Gan Shmuel). He was one of the heroic figures of the Israeli myth surrounding the issue of spying in Syria. He was caught and tortured and when his body was returned to Israel, a note bearing the mythological sentence “I was not a traitor” was found between his toes.
Udi Adiv and the other members of the Jewish-Arab network headed by Daud Turki (Udi Adiv’s instigator) and an Israeli Arab resident of Haifa’s Wadi Nisnas were accused of secretly traveling to Damascus to plan a Marxist revolution in Israel under the auspices of Syria.
The network members’ trial was the most widely discussed event in the State of Israel in those days. For the first time, an Israeli court of law allowed television cameras into the courthouse. Some claim that from this moment on, the image of the kibbutzim began to deteriorate in the eyes of the Israeli public. Udi Adiv and Daud Turki were sentenced to 17 years of imprisonment. Daud Turki was released 12.5 years later during the famous Jibril deal and Udi Adiv was released by the prison service release committee further to a public campaign to reduce his sentence.

The film presents three aspects of Bishara’s distinction and “otherness”: the intellectual quality of his political program; his challenge not only to the Zionist ideology but also to the particular role it has assigned to the “Israeli Arab;” and the modernist, humanist, and civic aspects of his political vision, which are so outstanding on a background of nationalistic atmosphere and an emerging apartheid regime in Israel.
