“An assassin’s actions can never be thoroughly explained, but this ragged, powerful film cogently indicts the dark, repressive voices in any society who can set the stage for violence.” (Hollywood Reporter)

“A rare look into the mind of an assassin, Incitement provokes and disturbs.” (Hollywood Reporter)

Israeli-American filmmaker Yaron Zilberman (A Late Quartet) has created a riveting cinematic thriller with an exacting gaze. It chronicles the year leading to the 1995 assassination of Israel’s prime minister Yitzhak Rabin—through the eyes of Yigal Amir, the man who murdered him. Incitement meticulously presents Amir’s world, as personal turmoil—conflicts with parents, struggles at college, a failing romantic relationship—plus political activism and religious fervor fuel dangerous extremism. Deftly interweaving staged performance with actual news footage, the film reveals the inner life of a man who grew convinced that he had the right to murder to prevent a peaceful solution in the Middle East. Winner of the Ophir Award for Israel’s Best Feature Film of 2019 and Israel’s official selection for the 2019 Academy Awards.
