Helen Mirren is Unrecognizable as Israeli Prime Minister in ‘Golda’ Trailer

The trailer for Helen Mirren‘s new movie has been released!

The 78-year-old Oscar-winning actress is nearly unrecognizable as former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the new movie Golda from director Guy Nattiv.

The movie also stars Camille Cottin and Liev Schreiber.

Here’s the synopsis: “Golda is a ticking-clock thriller set during the tense 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Mirren), faced with the potential of Israel’s complete destruction, must navigate overwhelming odds, a skeptical cabinet, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Schreiber), with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy around the world.”

Last year, Helen responded to backlash over playing the former Israeli Prime Minister.

Golda hits theaters on August 25th.
