In the new drama, which has its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, the British actress plays the Israeli Prime Minister during the tumultuous days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
The events of so-called Yom Kippur War, or the fourth Arab-Israeli War, are seared in the memory of all those who lived through them. The joint invasion by Arab forces from Egypt and Syria in the dawn hours of Oct. 6, 1973 nearly led to’s complete military defeat. The country’s surprise victory changed the face of the Middle East. Not least because the conflict played out as a proxy Cold War between the Soviets — who were arming Arab forces in Egypt — and the U.S.
At the center of it all was Golda Meir, Israel’s first female prime minister. A Labour politician and sickly grandmother forced to command an all-male war council, Meir was, in the words of Israeli director Guy Nattiv, “the wrong woman in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
