The Kibbutz

3
episodes
2011

The series documents the immense influence the bold kibbutz experiment had on Israeli society as a whole, as well as on the psyche and lifestyle of those who participated in it. On the surface, it is a story of a dream and its disillusionment; however, the dream was a harsh and demanding reality, and the disillusionment serves as an opening for new growth and new dreams.
