As outlined in other reviews, the movie is a must-watch for anyone who cares about Israel. These people are not doves, nor any kind of ideologically motivated pacifists/lefties, they all come from different backgrounds and yet they all have the same message : Israel must separate from the Palestinians or it's the end of Zionism.
However, one important fact I must stress out is that the movie assumes knowledge about the conflict, without it - I imagine - the movie, that doesn't follow a strictly chronological sequence of events will either not make much sense or paint a slightly distorted image.
One important inaccuracy (in my opinion) is the statement by one of the heads about how Rabin's "killed hope". That is not true, after the assassination, the Israelis reacted as you'd expect any people to react: with massive support for the legacy of the dead prime minister and endorsement of his successor. Before the 1996 election, Peres seemed poised to win by a significant margin. However, four Hamas terror attacks between February and March gave the win to Netanyahu.
That being said, I do agree that his assassination did incalculable damage to the Israeli peace camp. Most importantly, because of his past as a war hero, he was the only one who could successfully sell the "Make peace as if there was no terror" policy.
