Prime Minister (cert 12)
USA 2025, 96 minutes, 15 certificate
Directed by Michelle Walshe, Lindsay Utz, Starring Jacinda Ardern
Walshe and Utz deliver a portrait of former New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, that takes in her career from 2017 to 2023, her rise to the leadership of her party and her swift instalment as PM. It is rare to encounter a political leader characterised by compassion, principle and humanity, someone relatable and principled. But these are precisely the qualities that gained her a devoted following in New Zealand and ultimately across the globe, in the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings and her successful marshalling of the early phase of the COVID pandemic when the rest of the world observed New Zealand enjoying freedoms denied the rest of us, and very limited rates of infection. Of course, things went pear- shaped eventually – the rising influence of the far right, the perennial misogyny and bullying heaped on women in positions of political leadership, and perhaps also her lack of a bullet proof carapace that more seasoned or professional politicians might cultivate. With rare and intimate access to Ardern’s life behind the scenes, this impressive documentary is a compelling and ultimately uplifting watch. Given the current state of the world stage, it might feel difficult to imagine a political leader quite like her. Watch the trailer here.
