Helen Clark

Inside Stories
New Zealand’s first elected woman prime minister; nine years in power through the foreshore and seabed, Afghanistan and Iraq, Corngate and Speedgate; head of the UN Development Program and ranked among the most powerful women in the world. Helen Clark’s public life is well known. But what about the inside stories?

During 2012–2013, documentary-makers Claudia Pond Eyley and Dan Salmon interviewed a host of participants about the life of Helen Clark: Clark herself and her family, political friends and enemies, journalists and lobbyists, civil servants and diplomats. The resulting transcripts from those interviews, woven together here into a compelling narrative, offer a brilliantly multi-faceted, inside account of Helen Clark’s life and career.

From her father George Clark to friend Cath Tizard, Richard Prebble to Mike Moore, Winston Peters to Jim Anderton, Jacinda Ardern to John Key, Helen Clark and her contemporaries bring to life the tumultuous life and times of one of our most important political leaders.

Through the words of the players themselves, sometimes raw, sometimes angry, we find ourselves taken inside the major political developments of the last fifty years. This is a frank, revealing account of Helen Clark and her world.
