Histadrut

A documentary produced by Histadrut about Kibbutz Tel Katzir. Although modest in size, Tel Katzir stands in the center of a border conflict between Israel and Syria. The kibbutz, located in the demilitarized zone between the countries, is a frequent target of Syrian attacks. Between one attack and the next, Tel Katzir members lead their work, family, and cultural life.

A documentary produced by the Center for Culture and Education and the Agricultural Center of the General Federation of Workers in the Land of Israel. On the arid, water-scarce hills of the Jordan Valley, more and more Jewish settlements are being established and built, such as Petzael, Naaran, Argaman, and Gilgal. These settlements, despite the lack of water and the intense heat, are becoming agricultural communities that attract young people and families. Residents of Gilgal describe life in the settlement, working in the intense heat during the day in the fields or in the sprinkler factory, and watching movies together in the evening. The film ends with a report on the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War.
