Clarke Gayford: cinematographer and producer of Prime Minister on the new documentary on Jacinda Ardern's life - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

The Clarke Gayford-produced documentary chronicling the premiership of his wife and former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern promises an intimate look at the former leader.

Besides interviews and archival footage, it also includes home footage shot by Gayford and is described as a look into both Ardern’s administration and private life

Clarke Gayford says he wanted the documentary to reveal the honest bits of Ardern's tumultuous political life.

"Just trying to put a human face on what it means to be a politician, because the world we live in is getting crazier and spinning faster and faster - and so that was sort of the drive that made me want to pull this all together."

Prime Minister is set to arrive in cinemas on Thursday September 25th.
