Helen Mirren Stars as Golda Meir in 'Golda': An Early Screening at the KCET Cinema Series

The film screens on Tuesday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. Limited tickets are available in advance via the link below, and at the door of the Landmark Westwood Theatre.

Academy Award winning Director Guy Nattiv, candiately shares insights into Golda Meir’s term as the Israeli Prime Minister, “She will always be connected to the failure of the 19 days of the Yom Kippur war. Golda was the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. “She didn’t want to be a Prime Minister, but she had to take the job because no one else wanted it at that time. They pushed her to be a Prime Minister and then she was thrown into this mayhem and tried to deal with the mess.” Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir is portrayed by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren.

Immediately following the screening, Deadline’s chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on KCET’s Must See Movies, will moderate a Q&A with director, Guy Nattiv.
