The documentary 'Prime Minister' debuted at Sundance, showcasing Jacinda Ardern's leadership through personal home videos and interviews. It chronicles her ascent during a critical election, her progressive policies, and significant events like her pregnancy in office and her handling of national crises. While she became a political icon advocating kindness and empathy, her later tenure faced scrutiny over unmet promises. The film's intent is to humanize leaders, reflecting on Ardern's complex legacy amid changing public sentiment and personal challenges that led to her resignation in January 2023.
Ardern remarked, 'I hope the film will help humanise people in leadership,' emphasizing the need for understanding the complexities behind political roles.
The filmmakers described their goal: 'to tell the whole story - the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly, capturing Ardern's nuanced journey.'
