Prime Minister (2025)
豆瓣
简介
A view inside the life of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, capturing her through five tumultuous years in power and beyond as she redefined leadership on the world stage.
Jacinda Ardern’s outlook is summarized by a quote from her childhood hero, Sir Ernest Shackleton: “Optimism is true moral courage.” She reluctantly took on what she called “the worst job in politics” and led with humanity, compassion, and common sense. Ardern guided her country through the pandemic by relying on science and risked her popularity by reforming gun laws and stepping down earlier than expected.
Co-directors Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz craft an intimate portrait of Ardern’s journey, featuring footage shot by her husband and classified audio interviews recorded while she was prime minister. As only the second head of state in the world to give birth in office, she faced relentless ridicule but left office saddened rather than hardened.
Prime Minister is much like Ardern herself: eloquent, compassionate, funny, and inspiring.
