Golda is a ticking-clock thriller set during the tense 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), faced with the potential of Israel’s complete destruction, must navigate overwhelming odds, a skeptical cabinet, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber), with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy around the world.
Starring: Camille Cottin, Claudette Williams, Ellie Piercy, Emma Davies, Helen Mirren, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Tafler, Olivia Brody, Rami Heuberger, Rotem Keinan, Zed Josef
“Perceptions may be colored by revisionist political opinions of Meir, but Mirren embodies a complex character of conscience and empathy, who feels deeply and acts decisively to preserve an independent state even as she herself is disappearing. A gem.” (Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups)
