Inventing Our Life: The Kibbutz Experiment (2011)
Release Date: April 25th, 2012|1 hr. 21 min.
Judged by the ideological terms on which it was founded, you could say the kibbutz experiment has failed. I, for one, could never have made a permanent home there. Yet the sense of community was real, and those cavernous dining halls supply some of the happiest memories of my youth. show more
While very informative, it doesn't work as an introduction to kibbutzim because it requires the viewer to have some prior knowledge of the history of Israel. show more
Inventing Our Life is a fascinating introduction to a movement scrambling to adjust enough to guarantee a future, without severing all ties to its principled past. show more
Informative, especially if you\'ve ever been to one. I have, and it brought many fond memories. Well done.
