Helen Mirren will star in a new biopic called “Golda” as Israel’s legendary and only female Prime Minister, Golda Meir.
Guy Nattiv, an Israeli director and Oscar winner for the short film “Skin,” will direct the film from a screenplay by “Florence Foster Jenkins” writer Nicholas Martin, who will also produce alongside Michael Kuhn.
“Golda” focuses on the intensely dramatic and high-stake responsibilities and decisions that Meir – also known as the “Iron Lady of Israel” – faced during the Yom Kippur War. Here’s the full synopsis:
On October 6th, 1973, under cover of darkness, on Israel’s holiest day and during the month of Ramadan, the combined forces of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan began a surprise attack on the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights.
