Capital
Film Festival – Prime Minister – Opening Night Gala
Wednesday,
October 29 | 6pm Arrival
Join us
before the screening for our Opening Night Gala, kicking off the Festival with
music, canapes, cocktails from Ambrosia Distillery and wines from Moppity
Vineyards.
Garnering accolades and laurels from Sundance to Sydney, we
are thrilled to open Capital Film Festival with this intimate and rousing
documentary portrait of Jacinda Ardern.
Remarkably candid and vulnerable, we follow the journey of
New Zealand’s youngest ever Prime Minister – taking up the position at just 37
– as she steered the country through a particularly tumultuous period while
also navigating being a mum to a young daughter.
Crafted from news coverage, home videos shot by her partner Clarke
Gayford, contemporary interviews, and audio diaries recorded during her time in
office, we are given rare access into Ardern’s experience, insights and
approach to leadership. Her calls for – and demonstration of – kindness,
empathy, compassion and a re-humanising of a fractured society shows us what true
strength looks like.
