Film Days of the Mediterranean: GOLDA

38th Mediterranean Film Festival 22.1. – 2.2.2025 Karlstorkino, Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 3, 69126 Heidelberg, admission €10, reduced €7.50, members of the Media Forum €6, advance ticket sales online: www.filmtage-mittelmeer.de or at the Karlstorkino (one hour before the first screening until the last film) or at the Montpellier-Haus (during opening hours). Shortly before her death, Golda Meir was interviewed for Israeli television. At the end of filming, the cameras continued to roll, recording an intimate conversation with the first and only woman ever to rule Israel. As she lit cigarette after cigarette, Golda spoke freely, defending her tenure as Prime Minister, which included the Yom Kippur War – five turbulent years that secured her place in history, albeit at a high personal cost.
