Michaëlle Jean: A Woman of Purpose (2016)
In 2005, Michaëlle Jean became the Governor General of Canada. A social activist, global citizen, and black woman, she would redefine the possibilities of that office. While her national priorities were at-risk youth, women, and Indigenous peoples, her international success came from her cultural diplomacy. 2010: the earthquake in Haiti tragically brings her back to her homeland. Michaëlle Jean: A Woman of Purpose is an intimate and sensitive portrait of the stateswoman she came to be.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
