Mrs Robinson

Kiln is delighted to be joined by former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, for a post-film Q&A discussing the film, her life and work.

Aoife Kelleher’s latest documentary is a celebratory portrait of Mary, who grew up in modest, stable circumstances in Ballina, in Co Mayo, to be a reforming constitutional lawyer and senator before playing a huge role in transforming Ireland when she became the first female president of the country. She would leave that role to become UN High Commissioner, and sit as chair on the independent group of global leaders The Elders, set up by Nelson Mandela. With extraordinary access to its subject, revealing interviews and fascinating archive, pays tribute to an influential life that continues to be committed to peace, justice and human rights.

With gratitude to our partners Irish Film and TV UK and Breakout Pictures.
