Man/Land (Adam/Adama)
8 Episodes
The war along Israel's borders has brought renewed attention to our agriculture and to the women and men who grow our food and bring bread from the earth.
Man/Land, a captivating Beit Avi Chai production, follows musician Shlomi Shaban and farmer-chef Hedai Offaim as they travel across the country to meet inspiring farmers in fields and vineyards, orchards and plantations, cowsheds and pens.
Hedai cooks directly from the land, bringing his kitchen to each location and serving dishes straight from soil to plate. Shlomi plays the soundtrack of our lives for the farmers in places where a grand piano has never been seen before.
A warm and intimate celebration of resilience, creativity, and the spirit of those who nurture the land.
