Movie Haiku:Fascinating doc based on the actual diaries of the women who helped to found Kibbutz Ein Harod (located in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel). Arriving in the early 1920s, they were primarily educated women from the newly created Soviet Union, with high ideals to match their incredible physical stamina. Spoiler Alert: Life did not treat them kindly. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
