25th Annual Hartford Jewish Virtual Film Festival | Incitement

Docudrama | 2019 | Israel | 123 minutes

Hebrew with English subtitles

Directed by Yaron Zilberman

For the first time on screen and based on true events, acclaimed writer-director Yaron Zilberman chronicles the disturbing descent of a promising law student to a delusional ultranationalist obsessed with murdering his country’s leader, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Israel’s official Academy Award entry for Best International Feature Film and winner of the Israeli Ophir Award for Best Film, this gripping psychological drama depicts the lead-up to the assassination through the worldview of his assassin, Yigal Amir. The assassination is held to be a definitive — and infamous — moment in the struggling peace process with the Palestinians and in Israel’s charged history.
