The Movie Golda about Gold Meir is Directed by Academy Award Israeli filmmaker Guy Nattiv. Golda Screenplay is written by Nicholas Martin.
The movie Golda, directed by Guy Nattiv Focuses on the intensely dramatic and high-stakes responsibilities and decisions that Golda Meir, also known as the 'Iron Lady of Israel,' faced during the Yom Kippur War
The movie Golda is a biopic of Golda Meir, Israel's first and only female prime minister. But it only covers a period of fewer than three weeks.
The film follows Meir, played by Helen Mirren, as she navigates the tense 19 days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
The conflict resulted in heavy Israeli losses, widespread criticism of the government's perceived lack of preparedness and, ultimately, Meir's resignation.
Quote from Guy Nattiv :
"Golda thought about the people. She didn't think about herself. That's why she took the blame," he explains. "She left with a great shame because she cared about those soldiers. Benjamin Netanyahu cares about only one person: himself."
from NPR:
Guy Nattiv says the film is about leaders "who couldn't see each other, couldn't see from one meter, couldn't see the front, couldn't see themselves, couldn't see what's going on."
"And that's exactly what's going on right now, 50 years later," he adds.
For example, he says Israel's leaders seem to be ignoring the danger posed by the fact that many reservists are refusing to serve (arguing, as he describes it, that they fight "for the kingdom, not the king).
He says the fact that Meir believed in the judicial system is one of the big differences between her and Netanyahu.
Israeli lawmakers pass a key law to weaken the judiciary despite public outrage
