Unfolding a story about female leadership, human rights activism and climate justice,  MRS ROBINSON (directed by Aoife Kelleher ) tells the inspirational life story of change-maker Mary Robinson: Ireland's first female President, a pioneering UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the successor of Nelson Mandela as Chair of The Elders and the co-founder of Project Dandelion. Film trailer (33) MRS ROBINSON TRAILER - YouTube 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. Following the film (52 mins) there will be refreshments, and we will hear from three women in the Scottish Borders who are taking action around climate change in different ways, with time for discussion.
