Golda
Feature Documentary · Editing Consultant
Overview
A feature documentary about Golda Meir, combining rare archives, interviews and behind-the-scenes material to explore power, leadership and gender.
Objectives
- Help shape a clear narrative line through a dense historical life story.
- Balance political analysis with personal, vulnerable moments.
- Avoid a simple rise-and-fall model in favour of a more layered portrait.
Contributions
- Structural Consultancy
- Worked with the director on re-organising the material into chapters that clarify political turning points while following an emotional through-line.
- Point of View
- Advised on where to stay with Golda’s perspective and where to open the frame to critics, historians and contemporaries, so the film remains complex yet focused.
Outcome
The film was praised for its clear structure and the way it brings a familiar historical figure into sharper, more human focus.
