A year before the draining was completed, three photographers from Jerusalem left their jobs, homes and families, gathered all their savings and set out to document the natural life of the swamp that was about to disappear. For a year they crawled through the swamps, built camouflage blinds, documented the diversity of wildlife, and left behind rare raw footage of what was meant to be the first nature film shot in color in Israel, about the swamp that no longer exists. 59 minutes, Hebrew, Hebrew subtitles. After the screening there will be a conversation with the directors. In 1957, Israel completed the draining of the Hula swamps and lake, with the goal of clearing land for agriculture.
