People in the Valley 1973 (1973)

Plot Summary

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.
