Golda

In October 1973, the whole world is watching Israel's Prime Minister Golda Meir. After the surprise attack on the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula by Egypt, Syria and Jordan, the fate of the nation lies in her hands. She is showered with strategic advice from her all-male cabinet. Caught between the desire to prevent bloodshed and her political responsibility towards Israel, Golda must make decisions on which not only the future of her country but also countless lives on both sides depend.

In his nerve-wracking political thriller about the nearly three-week Yom Kippur War, director Guy Nattiv sheds light on a deeply shocking chapter of the Middle East conflict that continues to this day. Helen Mirren shines with an outstanding performance as Israel's first female Prime Minister Golda Meir. No less impressive is the outstanding make-up, for which the film received an Oscar® nomination for Best Make-up and Hairstyling.
