Mrs Robinson

8pm, Sky Documentaries

“Climate change is a man-made problem and requires a feminist solution.” Mary Robinson has one hell of a legacy: Ireland’s first female president – she helped decriminalise homosexuality and legalised female contraception – who later became a UN high commissioner and has put global focus on the climate crisis.
