Jacinda Ardern Sundance documentary Prime Minister as New Zealand leader oversaw semi-automatic weapons ban, abortion decriminalized, Covid border closing
The press narrative over whether a new mother can run the land of the Kiwis soon gives way as the movie becomes like a documentary version of 24, where Ardern is suddenly championing a ban of semi-automatic weapons after a devastating massacre, decriminalizing abortion and handling the Covid outbreak by leaning into the saving of lives more than the re-starting of the economy. The docu is for sale, and was backed by Madison Wells ‘ Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane, who add this to a roster of films that often touch on female empowerment themes, including The Eyes of Tammy Fare. DEADLINE: Pleasure to speak with the former Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern, and Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane of the film’s Madison Wells, a producer with a long track record of telling female empowerment tales.
