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.

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 the truth.

Screenings of PRIME MINISTER will be followed by a 15 minute pre-recorded Q&A between Jacinda and film critic Rhianna Dhillon.

“One of the most arrestingly intimate political documentaries you’ll see.”
