Shortly before her passing, Golda Meir was interviewed by an Israeli television station. After the interview ended, the cameras kept rolling; recording an intimate talk with the first and only woman to ever rule Israel. As she lit one cigarette off of the other, Golda spoke her mind, pleading her case for her term as prime minister.
Based on this; never-before-seen talk, testimonies of supporters, and opponents and rare archival footage, “Golda” tells the story of Golda Meir’s dramatic premiership. From her surprising rise to power, and iconic international stature as “queen of the Jewish people”, to her tragic and lonely demise.
