PARADISE SHATTERED
Dir. Ronit Ifergan | Israel | 2024 | 73 min. | Hebrew | Documentary
Director Ifergan and her husband Itzik relocated with their children from central Israel to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, near the border with Gaza. Ronit captures the family’s ongoing confrontation with the constant threat, the kibbutz community’s fragile sense of security, the desire to remain in their homes along with constant fear for them and their children and brings to light the dilemma of whether to stay or leave—a question that takes on a chilling new significance after the events of October 7th.
