Media Prima

This is the remarkable story of a woman’s quest to alter the course of her country’s modern history and transform the fortunes of her people. Chandrika Bandaranaike was born to one of Sri Lanka’s most distinguished families in 1945. Her father was a senior minister of the government at the time of her birth. He was later to become the Prime Minister of the country, while her mother, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, was to become the world’s first woman Prime Minister in 1961.
