GOLDA Trailer Features Helen Mirren And Liev Schreiber

Academy Award® winner Helen Mirren is Golda Meir, Israel’s first female Prime Minister, in the new trailer for Bleeker Street’s GOLDA.

Written by Nicholas Martin (Florence Foster Jenkins), Golda is a ticking-clock thriller – sharing the intensely dramatic events, high-stake responsibilities, and controversial decisions that Meir – also known as the ‘Iron Lady of Israel’ – faced during 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.

Camille Cottin plays Lou Kaddar, Golda’s long-time personal assistant, who stood beside her throughout the war.

When the film was announced in 2021, Mirren said “Golda Meir was a formidable, intransigent and powerful leader. It is a great challenge to portray her at the most difficult moment of her extraordinary life. I only hope I do her justice!”

GOLDA had its world premiere at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival on February 20, 2023. It also screened at the Jerusalem Film Festival on July 13, 2023.
