Sanna Marin - portrait of a politician who has grown into a superstar in the world.

A close-up portrait of a politician who has grown into a superstar in the world.

An explosive rise from a Tampere suburb to the world's elite. In just a few years, Sanna Marin rose from a municipal politician to a prime minister and a world-famous super celebrity, with a glimmer of glamor that is rare for Finnish politicians. Marin's term as prime minister was full of extraordinary events in Finnish history. It included the corona pandemic, Russia's attack on Ukraine and Finland's NATO membership - which Marin played a significant role in advancing.

The young prime minister led the country in extraordinary circumstances and became a great favorite of the people and a global role model, especially for many women. Marin didn't flinch from the criticism directed at herself and her appearance, but when necessary, stuck a bone in her critics' throats.

Politics journalist Lauri Nurmi has closely followed Marin's career since his days in municipal politics and has seen with what kind of determination and fire of thought Marin has built his career. Nurmi has been present at several significant turning points in Marini's political life. Why and how did Marini become so popular, and what kind of price did he have to pay for it?

Nurmi's spotlight is on Marin's political career and status as one of the most followed Finns in the world - without forgetting Marin's rainbow family background and his entire life so far, which have had a significant impact on his world of values.
