The Garden of Eden

Director: Ran Tal Docu Israel 2012 73 minutes ArabicHebr

To Jews it's the Gan HaShlosha National Park. To Arabs it's the Sahne. In
this widely-lauded documentary, however, it's the eponymous Garden of Eden.
A funny, generous document of the park-a popular getaway for Israelis from
all walks of life-through the seasonal changes of one year, an introduction
to some of the park's regular visitors, a host of fascinating individuals.

There is a recent divorcee, a woman who has faced untold trials since her
marriage as an adolescent, a man planning to emigrate from Israel, and
another traumatized by his brother's death in war. Christians, Muslims,
Jews, and atheists are here, united in their humanity, and the result is a
testimony on the vibrant diversity of Israel, often mistakenly simplified
into two monolithic poles.
