Paradise Shattered
Fifteen years ago, Ronit Ifargan and her husband Itzik left central Israel with their children to live in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. The early years were documented in “border living” (2013). Since then, Ronit has continued filming the struggle to raise public awareness of the security situation on the Gaza border, while capturing the challenges of raising children under constant threat. Community events, filled with optimism and a false sense of safety, take on a unsettling significance against the backdrop of the tragic events of 7/10/23.
