The Right Honorable Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's 40th prime minister, led her nation through extraordinary challenges, including the Christchurch mosque shootings and the Covid-19 pandemic. She implemented bold policies, such as decriminalizing abortion and extending paid parental leave, and became only the second elected leader in history to give birth while in office. Inclusive and empathetic, her leadership reshaped global expectations of effective governance. Featuring footage shot by her husband, and never-before-heard audio interviews, this Sundance-winning film examines her life during and after those five years in power.
