Margaret
Thatcher - The Iron Lady is the first major documentary to
look back on
the development and impact of this remarkable woman, whom commentators
of both the political left and right agree changed the face of 20th
Century politics forever. From her humble beginnings as a Grocer s
daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the
murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative
Party elite and the skepticism of the British electorate to become the
greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. Although
Margaret Thatcher broke down the barriers and became a pathfinder for a
new generation of women in politics, she was not averse to using her
good looks and sexuality to help convince other leaders that hers was
the right course of action. It was not for nothing that French Premier
Francois Mitterrand said that she had the eyes of Caligula and the
mouth of Marilyn Monroe. Featuring many excerpts from her powerful
speeches and insightful contributions from her political supporters and
detractors, a portrait emerges of a woman whose strength of conviction
eventually becomes her weakness. This program includes intimate footage
of the Thatchers at home in Number 10, and unseen footage from her
emotional and first major interview after her resignation as Prime
Minister with Michael Brunson in 1992.
