Prime Minister

Friday 09 January 2026 - Saturday 10 January 2026

Cinema

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 and becomes a feminist political icon.

Then resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth.

 

‘New Zealand’s former prime minister Jacinda Ardern emerges from this documentary portrait the way she did when she was in power from 2017 to 2023 … as a human being.’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
