My Year with Helen: Movie Screening and Q&A with Helen Clark

‘My Year with Helen’ (A Film By Gaylene Preston), tells a story of leadership, patriarchy, women and power as filmmaker Gaylene Preston follows Helen Clark in her attempt to shatter the ultimate glass ceiling: to become the first female UN Secretary-General. As Ms Clark herself puts it, ‘The film conveys how tough it is to break the remaining glass ceilings. May it motivate future generations of women to keep at it!’ The screening will be followed by a Q&A, where Ms Clark will delve deeper into this pivotal year in her career and share her experiences as a high-ranking female UN official. Join Ambassador Lecture Series and UNU-MERIT for an evening of inspiration and stimulating discussion at the Lumière Cinema!
