Prime Minister

In the span of a year, Jacinda Ardern became New Zealand’s opposition party leader, then prime minister, and then a first-time mother. Through intimate home footage and audio interviews, the HBO Original documentary Prime Minister follows Ardern as she becomes a global political icon, faces a series of crises, unexpectedly resigns from office, and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth.
