The Arena of Murder

Synopsis

On November 4, 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak RABIN was assassinated after a peace rally in Tel Aviv. "Arena of Murder", the first film to be made on the subject, analyses the aftermath of RABIN's death. GITAI shows us a nation in mourning, from Haifa to Gaza to Tel Aviv. ...Whether it is Leah RABIN talking about imminent changes in Israel, a drive through the Gaza strip at night, Yigal AMIR reenacting the assassination on television, or pop icon Aviv GEFEN singing at a concert, each image is fraught with political meaning.
