Directed by Reuben Silver and starring Dorothy Silver, Golda's Balcony is a complex one woman tour de force. This tight knit story of war and peace opens in 1973, on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, and uses flashbacks to let Golda tell the story of her life: her journey from her birthplace in Russia to the United States where she settled in Milwaukee, became a school teacher and married, emigrated to Palestine and became the first female prime minister. In Israel's darkest days she is faced with the possibility of using the ultimate weapon.

"Seldom has history embodied itself in one person as clearly as it did in Golda Meir....Gibson gives us a great understanding of Golda's personal and public life ... and conveys magnificently the fearlessness and dedication that made Golda so powerful a world leader.'' N.Y. Daily News
