    Comment on Facebook

    The Kibbutz movement produced Israel’s “greatest generation” of farmer-soldiers and socialist statesmen (think Golda Meir). It was hailed by philosopher Martin Buber as the utopian “experiment that did not fail” and the “soul” of the new State of Israel. Yet a hundred years after the first collective settlement was established in Palestine, the fortunes of the Kibbutzim have waxed and waned. This illuminating documentary is the story of the idealistic first Israelis, their economic troubles and the hopeful recent innovations in collective living. Told through interviews with inspiring personalities and the new generation of Israelis who are returning and refashioning kibbutz life, Inventing Our Lives provides a first-hand look at the pride of Zionist achievement.

    Screening with Strangers No More.
    Special Guest: Ranen Omer-Sherman, Professor of English and Jewish Studies - University of Miami
