Runtime: 52 Min.

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.

After 10 years, we have the right to know the truth about the most traumatic event in the history of Israel and the Middle – East.

  1. Israel Malka says:

    This excellent documentary about Yitzhak Rabin, gives many answers to questions left after Rabin’s assassination. With indepth research of the history of Israel and Rabin himself, I, as a viewer, got a clearer picture concerning Israel. Though still, many questions are still left unanswered.

  2. Sarah F says:

    I remeber visiting in Tel Aviv and Kikar Rabin (Rabin square) ten years ago. The story of Yitzhak Rabin, Israel’s first “tzabar” president is a story of many Israelis up until his murder. I was both moved and angered while watching this film.

  3. Jeff says:

    I still can’t believe that Rabin’s murder was real. Still, watching this film isn’t similar to any other movie made about Yitzhak Rabin. This movie features great recreations of the murder and offers answers to question concerning the reasons given by Yigal Amir, the realigious man who murdered Rabin.
