Golda

In America, she is viewed as the respected grandmother of the state of Israel; in Israel, her legacy is far more complicated. This fascinating profile sheds light on Golda Meir, the first and only woman to be elected prime minister of Israel. The film centers around a remarkably candid interview, unseen until now, in which the stateswoman reflects on and defends her tumultuous and controversial five years in office - a tenure marked by extraordinary challenges, from the nascent settler movement to the deadly Yom Kippur War.
