Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin (37) is looking for a new job after being voted out on April 2. It is still unclear where they are going. There is talk of an office in Brussels, for example as EU Council President. Charles Michel (47) currently holds this position. The former Belgian prime minister will be elected until November 2024, when his term of office ends.

But now the film industry is also interested in the fast-paced career of the social democrat, who was elected the world’s youngest head of government at the age of 34. HBO Max, Warner Bros. Discovery’s video-on-demand provider with over 40 million subscribers, is currently producing a three-part series entitled “Viisi valittua” (The First Five), which will soon be broadcast in European countries and the US. summer .

This “top five” is about the quintet of ministers Marin, Anna-Maja Henriksson (59, Finland-Sweden), Annika Saarikko (39, Center Party), Li Andersson (35, Left) and Maria Ohisalo (38, Greens). It is HBO Max’s first Finnish documentary.

In addition to the Covid pandemic, the Marin government also had to deal with the war in Ukraine. The streaming provider says viewers are “getting to know the women behind the public image” as the documentary closely follows the lives of female politicians as they tackle these challenges.

Director is the Finnish Mia Halme (54). In an HBO Max press release, she says, “Despite their demanding roles, the ministers on the show are relatable and personable women. I’m always amazed when one of them speaks boldly in their own voice.” During the extraordinarily difficult time, the wealth of the five ministers often appears “like a glimmer of light in the darkness,” Halme continued.

Sanna Marin’s Social Democrats fell to third place in the early April elections, behind the conservative National Coalition Party and the right-wing Finns Party. Marin is mainly accused of not having the finances in order.
