in the evening

at around 7:
30 or so.

As soon as I got there I thought

about the best place to film from,

and I decided that the best place was

as close to the stage as possible.

That's where I set up.

It was very crowded.

There were lots of people,

which is why I stayed there

most of the time.

The most important thing was

to film Yitzhak Rabin's speech.

I filmed Rabin's speech.

I was very pleased.

And afterwards I decided

there was no point staying there.

It was very crowded,

people were pushing

and there was no point staying

for the musical performances

because that wasn't

the important part of the film.

So I left and started looking for a place

to film the last footage of the rally.

I turned around

and saw the prime minister's

big official state car.

I think.

I don't know whose it is.

A government vehicle.

At that point,

after the prime minister's speech,

where were you standing?

I was still down below, but

I had a feeling

that I wasn't welcome there.

And it wasn't a good angle either.

It was very crowded.

We can see the camera wobble.

The police didn't tell me not to go up.

I wasn't considered suspicious.

Later, when I went up,

I started filming.

I went up on the City Garden roof.

- How did you go up?

- Through the mall.

Not through the VIP exit.

Not that way.

What did you do up there?

I started filming and I saw

how disorganized it was

and for some reason

I had a bad feeling.

I can't explain why.

I want to show you

a diagram of the site.

Come with us to the archive, please.

Were there any other police here

besides the security guard you mentioned?

I think there were

two plainclothes policemen.

- One approached me.

- What did he say to you?

The policeman was the one

who stressed me out.

He was fine.

He questioned me,

asked what I was doing there,

where I was filming.

He inspected my camera

for anything unusual.

He asked for my ID

and all my details.

I asked him,

Don't you see what's going on here?

He didn't like my question.

I'm not sure

I used those exact words.

Anyway, then he told me,

You can film everything,

but only film Rabin

as he gets into the car.

Don't film him coming down the steps.

After he said that,

you can understand how I felt.

I started imagining all sorts of things

after I heard that.

What did you say to him?

I said...

Look, I don't think -

I don't think you have the right

to tell me what to film.

Is something secret going on here?

He said,

There's nothing secret going on,

but if you keep insisting,

I can make you leave.

I said, lf you want to get rid of me,

get rid of me,

but I'll complain to the police.

I don't think you have the right
