Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been a trail-blazer for female politicians in her nine-year career in Parliament - which was capped when she was sworn in as Prime Minister last week.
She became the youngest-sitting MP when elected in 2008, is the youngest ever Labour Party leader and the second-youngest leader of New Zealand's Parliament. And the accolades continued this week when she was ranked in 13th spot on Forbes' latest 'Women Who Rule the World' list.
Now Ardern, and the rest of New Zealand, are set to learn a bit more about trail-blazers in the rest of her family in Tuesday night's season premiere of The DNA Detectives on TVNZ 1.
"I think almost everyone out there has some kind of family secrets that mean you have these bits of a puzzle in your family history that you can't solve," Adern said ahead of the show.
"Being able to piece together who you are and where you're from is really important."
