They were called "Children of the Sun" because they considered these children to be the "Sun unto the Nations", an integral part of "the Revolution" in Israel. They were born into a utopia and were destined to become the "New Man". They were educated in an ideological society that aspired to replace the traditional family with the collective one, to subjugate the will of the individual in favor of the common good and a life of equality. This fascinating and moving documentary has already been purchased by libraries at many prestigious universities including University of Texas, Austin, Brandeis University and Harvard University. "Children of the Sun" is essential in any collection of Israeli Films. Ran Tal's film is made up of first person testimonies. He employs archival footage shot during the early kibbutz years and authentic audio documentation spanning the years 1930-1970. His use of the archival footage underscores the deep collective attachment that those early pioneers felt and the continued nostalgia Israelis continue to feel to this day.
