Mrs Robinson tells the epic life story of the most consequential female figures in Ireland’s recent history. A crusading constitutional lawyer and reforming senator, Mary detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990. Later, as a pioneering UN HighCommissioner, she built a lasting legacy; fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world. To this day, she exerts enormous power as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights.
As Mary Robinson turns 80, this iconic change-maker is in the midst of the greatest battle of her life; the fight for a meaningful reversal of global warming.
