Trailer for Rabin in His Own Words.
Twenty years ago, Yitzhak Rabin became the first Israeli prime minister to be assassinated in office, murdered by an Israeli religious extremist opposed to the Israeli-Palestinian peace plans that Rabin embraced. This comprehensive doc covers Rabin's remarkable military and political career, along with his personal and private life. Raised in a labour Zionist household, Rabin played critical roles in the Israeli War of Independence, the Six Day War, the First Intifada and the Oslo Accords. He also served as Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A wealth of documents, interviews, home movies, archival footage and off-the-record conversations make up this candid overview of a man who attempted to redefine the political and cultural landscape. A beacon of hope and peace for some, and a traitor to the ideals of Zionism to others, Rabin's exceptional life is captured here as it should be, in his own words.
