'Golda' Trailer: Helen Mirren Defends Israel
The Big Picture Helen Mirren is having quite the year, as she is set to return to the big screen once more. On August 25, Mirren stars as Golda Meir in Bleecker Street's forthcoming feature Golda, a biopic centered on its title character. The film originally debuted in February at the Berlin Film Festival. Now, Golda finally has an official trailer.
As mentioned, Golda centers on Golda Meir, who was Israel's first female Prime Minister. Set in 1973, Golda is "a ticking-clock thriller" spanning 19 days of the Yom Kippur War, in which Israel was on the brink of total collapse. So, Meir is faced with the pressing challenge of overcoming massive odds, a cabinet with little faith in her abilities, and a complicated relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger .
The trailer wastes no time in establishing the urgency of the situation, with warning sirens going off as Meir takes part in a press conference laying out what has happened. Mirren's performance brings those leadership and compassion skills to life as Meir works with several different government facets to protect her home, even going so far as to say that should "the Americans throw us to the dogs, I will not be taken alive.
