In August of 2017, in the lead-up to national elections, Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly became New Zealand’s opposition party leader. She had just turned 37. Two frenetic months later, she was Prime Minister. And just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant, meaning that she was about to become the second head of state in history to give birth while in office.

Quickly becoming one of the most recognizable leaders in the world, she drew global attention from people craving a compassionate approach to the critical issues of our time. Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, Prime Minister follows her 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. Briskly paced and consistently inspiring, this film offers a trenchant examination of a politician trying to do her best in a deeply divided world, leaving you with hope that more people like her are in the wings ready to enshrine common sense, despite the risks.
