Parent and Baby ONLY: Prime Minister

This screening is exclusively for parents and their babies (under 12 months old) ONLY

The Right Honorable Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s 40th Prime Minister, led her nation through unprecedented challenges, implemented bold policies, and became the second leader in history to give birth in office, all while championing an inclusive and empathetic leadership style that changed global expectations of what a leader can be.

Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, this film 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.

Intimate home footage shot by her husband and audio interviews that Jacinda did while in office give us unparalleled access. Along with in-depth contemporaneous interviews, these form the emotional backbone of the story, giving viewers an unfiltered window into her years in power.

'The documentary acts as an intimate study of what it means to serve others when it seems like the world is falling apart' - Harrison Richlin, IndieWire
