Herd

About This Movie

Herd is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the complex relationship between life and death through the eyes of ten-year-old Na’ama. Set against the backdrop of a cattle ranch, the film captures the nuanced tension between her innocent curiosity and the harsh realities of farming. Itamar, her father, provides a grounded perspective, yet the film doesn’t shy away from Na’ama's emotional tug-of-war as she develops an attachment to the animals destined for slaughter. The cinematography is intimate, creating a sense of closeness that pulls you into their world. It's this blend of philosophical questioning with a slice of rural life that sets Herd apart, making it a contemplative watch rather than a traditional documentary.
