By A Mystery Man Writer

The Women Pioneers: Directed by Michal Aviad. With Noa Barkai, Veronica Kedar, Sivan Levy, Maya Maron. The women pioneers who came here a century ago wanted to build a new world and create a new woman, just as independent as men. A few dozen of these women established Ein Harod. Writing about themselves and their world, they described their fight for equality and protested against how they were silenced. They struggled against the constraints of the traditional world they came from and the way men interpreted the world that they created. They lived passionately and experienced many painful failures. In the end, they abandoned their struggle as women to focus on achieving the dream that they shared with men--the dream of creating a new nation. "Women/Pioneers" tells the story of their turbulent lives through the journals they wrote, which provide a new perspective on archival materials from that time. A hundred years ago, women pioneers came from Europe to Palestine to realize the dream of creating a new woman, who would be as independent as a man. The women pioneers have left diaries and texts which tell their stories. Their writings shed new light on the archival footage of the time. Women/Pioneers uncovers the course of their passionate battles and painful disappointments, until their defeat, giving up their own liberation for the national struggle.
