*Screenings on Sunday 9th November include a Cinema-Exclusive pre-recorded Q&A with Dame Jacinda Ardern, hosted by Zak Hepburn. Enjoy an intimate and unique insight into the film and reflection from Jacinda Ardern on her time as Prime Minister.

In August 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.

Just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant. She would become only the second head of state in history to give birth while in office.

Ardern quickly became one of the most recognizable leaders in the world. She drew global attention from people craving a sensitive an 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 – the Christchurch massacre, pandemic lockdowns, and disinformation-fueled protests outside Parliament – would test that leadership and the feminine touch she brought to it.

Through intimate home videos shot by her husband and revealing audio interviews, go behind the scenes of Ardern’s administration and her private life – an unfiltered window into her seven years in power and shock resignation.
