The Woman in White
Synopsis
The mysterious life of Tamar Golan: an unofficial female diplomat who paved the way for the historic peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, all while remaining absent from the history books. Through a newly discovered private archive, the film reveals how one woman, navigating a male-dominated world, created an alternative form of diplomacy built on trust, empathy, and human connection—a distinctive feminine voice that needs to be heard, now more than ever.
