Synopsis
Set against the backdrop of its glorious 100-year history, INVENTING OUR LIFE 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? Through the lens of its communal movement, director Toby Perl Freilich explores the modern history of Israel, from its revolutionary settlers to the political upheaval that shook the socialist foundations of the state. With their desire to create a Jewish homeland, the first settlers helped place kibbutzim in the vanguard of Israeli history, and in doing so, they became a magnet for all those who shared one thing in common - a powerful urge to invent their own life.
