About the Project:
Year: 2011
Chronicling the changing kibbutz through the eyes of some of its most devoted members, Keeping the Kibbutz examines the challenges faced by a community in transition. While some members faced heartbreak, others found new opportunities, and the kibbutz marched toward an inevitable end. A story about nostalgia, the effects of communal living and the hope for what lies ahead, Keeping the Kibbutz captures the lingering ghost of a movement left behind. Keeping the Kibbutz was broadcast on over 70 PBS stations in the fall of 2011 and screened publicly across the US and Europe at museums, community centers, film festivals, independent theaters and synagogues.
