MRS. ROBINSON tells Mary's story, in her own words, for the very first time -- illuminating battles for justice and equality over half a century; on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power. A reforming constitutional lawyer and senator in her early career, Mary Robinson detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990. Later, as a crusading UN High Commissioner, she built a lasting legacy; fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world. To this day, she exerts power and leadership as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights.

Jack Seale Guardian As captured by this programme, Robinson is a leader who actually, genuinely cares, about people and principles. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times There is nothing so wrong about a good-news documentary. The nation had more than enough bad news in its first century of independence. Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International Mrs Robinson’s main problem is that it isn’t as sharp as Mary Robinson herself. Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Ed Power Irish Times Across its 90 minutes, the film cries out for a spark – a zinging insight, a surprise that adds to our appreciation or understanding of Robinson. None is forthcoming. Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent Looking at the wan line-up of candidates and would-be candidates for this year’s presidential election, you realise how exceptionally lucky we were, and still are, to have [Mary Robinson]. Rated: 4/5 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Harry Guerin RTÉ (Ireland) Mrs Robinson deserves to be shown in every school in the future. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
