Prime Minister

In August 2017, 37-year-old Jacinda Ardern became New Zealand’s opposition leader just weeks before a national election, and then two months later became Prime Minister. Soon after she learned she was pregnant, becoming only the second world leader to give birth while in office. Ardern’s compassionate leadership has drawn global attention, even as she faced skepticism at home and a succession of crises—the Christchurch massacre, pandemic lockdowns, and violent protests fueled by disinformation.
PRIME MINISTER follows Ardern over seven transformative years, offering unprecedented access through intimate home footage shot by her husband and revealing interviews recorded during her time in power. The film captures her meteoric rise, shocking resignation in 2023, and her continued fight against fear and falsehood
