An iconic change-maker Mary Robinson has led an inspirational life of human rights activism. But as she approaches the age of 80, she is taking on the biggest battle of her life. Tracking tectonic shifts in personal, political, and social values over a period of 50 years, Mrs Robinson tells a cinematic story of epic battles for equality: in the courts, at the ballot box, and on the streets. Directed by Aoife Kelleher; Produced by Trisha Canning and Cormac Hargaden

“Balancing her public triumph with her personal struggles and resilience, the documentary will trace Anderson’s impact as a talent whose career was steered by the limits imposed by racism and segregation. Despite racial prejudice, she became an internationally renowned star and a voice for social justice.”
