A pioneering constitutional lawyer, Ireland's first woman president, the UN’s second High Commissioner for Human Rights and former Chair of The Elders: iconic change-maker Mary Robinson has led an inspirational life of human rights activism. And, at the age of 80, she is taking on the biggest battle of her life — the fight to avert climate catastrophe. MRS ROBINSON tracks tectonic shifts in personal, political and social values over a period of 50 years as it tells a cinematic story of epic battles for equality in the courts, at the ballot box and on the streets.
