In 2017 Jacinda Ardern is catapulted to the top of New Zealand political life when she unexpectedly becomes Prime Minister. Over seven years of filming, we watch as she becomes the second world leader in history to give birth while in office, boldly leads her country through a mass shooting, a natural disaster and the Covid-19 pandemic, and after her resignation, continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear and the distortion of truth.
