Description of a Struggle

Overview

Chris Marker’s documentary portrays Israel twelve years after its founding, blending location and archival footage to explore its diverse communities—from kibbutzim and Arab villages to Orthodox quarters and tourist sites. The “struggle” of the title reflects the nation’s search for identity in a rapidly changing region.
