Director: Yaron Zilberman
Cast: Yehuda Nahari Halevi, Amitay Yaish Ben Ousilio, Anat Ravnitzki

Yaron Zilberman, who made a successful debut with his first feature A Late Quartet, now brings a real event to the screen. We follow the process that brought Yigal Amir, a Yemeni law student, who committed the assassination of Izak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister at the time, to the point of murder in 1995. We witness Yigal Amir on the road to this assassination, which changed the destiny of the Middle East, and how he is indirectly provoked by orthodox rabbis, who convince him that murder and revenge can indeed be justified. Using a striking language, Zilberman highlights the impact of leaders on the psychologically imbalanced individuals in society in Incitement, which made its world premiere in Toronto before going on to win the Best Film award of the Israeli Film Academy.
