Premise
editThe establishment of a nineteenth-century settlement in Palestine by ten Russian Jews.
Reception
editA review in The New York Times stated "An Israeli counterpart of an American Western, this one set on the frontier of Palestine back in the late nineteenth century when that ancient country was under control of the Turks, is interestingly and movingly presented in Baruch Dienar's "They Were Ten" ("Heym Hayu Assara")."[2] The film is indeed described by the Israel Film Archive as a "Zionist, pioneer Western",[3] while TV Guide wrote it was "A touching story about early Russian immigrants to Galilee who manage to overcome numerous hardships from the harsh climate, Arab neighbors, and within themselves to form a settlement."[4]
