Synopsis:
The forthcoming major film The Iron Lady features a critically acclaimed performance by Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher The Iron Lady of the Western World. From her humble beginnings as a Grocers daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative Party elite and the scepticism of the British electorate to become the greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. 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. 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 became her weakness. This programme 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. Contributors include: ITN political editor Michael Brunson, ex-Conservative MP Gyles Brandreth, political correspondent Nicholas Owen, Lord Howe, Lord Heseltine, biographer Hugo Vickers and many others.

Reviews:
"A good documentary is one which keeps you hooked from start to finish. Yes, this one scores fairly high on that. With great commentary and narration from veteran news reporters who reigned the news airwaves in the 80s, the viewer is given a brief history of The Iron Lady's rise, her reign, and her downfall.

Margaret Thatcher was a lesson to all that came after her. This dvd highlights the aspects of her formative years that led her into politics and covers most junctions of her years at Downing Street. It doesn't matter how you feel about her, because the film doesn't necessarily serenade her as much as it tells a story of a remarkable woman in a man's world. A determined politician with a vision, who surely did not foresee her exit from the top seat in the manner that awaited her.

Now I do know that Margaret Thatcher has to rank as one of the best ever orators. Regardless of your political inclinations, anytime she spoke on television or radio she got your attention. Though I was at an age when politics didn't mean much, I did listen to her speeches attentively and marvel at her sheer eloquency, delivery, and total authority. And here's the trick - without losing any of her femininity!"
