Inventing our life, Film screening

Screening and discussion with Toby Perl Freilich, director of the documentary Inventing Our Life: The Kibbutz Experiment, which opened in New York in April 2012. Set against the backdrop of the glorious 100-year history of the Kibbutz, the film reveals the heartbreak and hope of Israel’s modern kibbutz movement as a new generation struggles to ensure its survival. Can a radically socialist institution survive a new capitalist reality? How will painful reforms affect those who still believe in the kibbutz experiment, and continue to call it home?
