Children of the Sun (Hebrew: ילדי השמש) is a 2007 documentary feature film about the Israeli kibbutz directed by Ran Tal. It won the Best Documentary and Best Editing Awards at the 2007 Jerusalem Film Festival, and Best Documentary at the 2008 Ophir Awards.

Tal, who was himself born on Kibbutz Beit HaShita, examines the "Children of the Sun" - the first generation of kibbutz children who were separated from their parents and raised according to the principles of communal child rearing and education. The film combines archival footage culled from over eighty amateur films shot between 1930 and 1970, rare recordings, and interviews with more than a dozen people who reflect on their unconventional childhoods and being the unwitting subjects in an ambitious social and ideological experiment.

A quirky film about life, death, and the bit in the middle, Paradise Grove is a beguiling blend of tragedy, romance, and wry Jewish wit. Set in an eccentric north London Jewish old age home, the film revolves around three generations of the same family. There's cantanerous old Izzie Goldberg (Ron Moody), who's dying and is not at all happy about it, his hedonistic daughter Dee (Rula Lenska), the home's owner, a cross between a Sixties flower child and a traditional Jewish mother—and there's her teenage age son Keith (Leyland O'Brien), the mixed-race outcome of a disastrous marriage. Keith's identity crisis forms the film's emotional core: he's trying to build personal and religious bridges with his grandfather while starting a relationship with the mysterious Kim (Lee Blakemore), who turns up one morning looking for shelter, and who offers the promise of a life outside Paradise Grove.

Gisella Perl (Christine Lahti), a Jewish-Romanian gynecologist from Sighetu, Romania, testifies before an Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) review board consisting of three men (Bruce Davison, Richard Crenna, and Beau Bridges). Perl is seeking to be granted citizenship after passing the New York State Medical Licensing Board examinations, wishing to begin practicing in New York. She recounts her early life when she aspired to be a doctor despite the admonishments of her father, her time practicing as a gynecologist before the German invasion, and her experiences as prisoner #25404, where she provided what medical care she could to fellow prisoners. Her most controversial actions included providing late-term abortions to pregnant women in order to save their lives. These pregnant women would otherwise have been killed immediately or subjected to the torture of horrific "medical" experiments.
