Prime Minister (12A)
When she became Prime Minister in 2017 Ardern quickly became one of the most recognizable leaders in the world. She drew global attention from people craving a sensitive and compassionate approach to the critical issues of our time. In private, she struggled with being a mother and proving herself to a public skeptical of women’s leadership. A series of crises would test that leadership and the feminine touch she brought to it. She resigned from office in January 2023, shocking her supporters and critics alike.
Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, PRIME MINISTER follows Jacinda for seven years as she is catapulted to the top of New Zealand politics, becomes a feminist political icon, resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth. PRIME MINISTER leaves viewers wondering what the world might be like with more Jacindas at the helm.
