In The Land Of The Negev 1975

An Israeli Film Service documentary, describing the two faces of the Negev: unspoiled desert landscape alongside modern Israeli settlements. The film documents the culture and commerce in Beersheba, the works in Timna Valley’s copper mines and the Aravah’s agricultural fields, and the technological strongholds of Ben Gurion University’s labs, the Wise Observatory, and Eilat’s desalination plant. Alongside the modernization, the film captures the surrounding desert nature and wildlife, the Nabataean archaeological sites in the Negev, as well as the remains of the War of Independence in Mizpe Revivim.
