The 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 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 scepticism 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’. But most of all Margaret Thatcher was a conviction politician. Never scared of criticism or negative opinion polls, she fought for what she believed was right and just: whether that was fighting against the Argentine invasion of the Falklands

Thirty years after Chernobyl and five years after Fukushima, millions of people continue to live on lands quietly marked by radioactive contamination. This documentary enters the “grey zones” of Belarus, Norway, and Japan, where the consequences of nuclear disaster are not only historical, but part of everyday life. After Chernobyl, the scientific program Ethos was launched with support from France and the European Union to work directly with communities in contaminated territories, helping residents identify daily risks, adapt their behaviors, and continue living in affected areas. In central Norway, heavy fallout from Chernobyl deeply disrupted the lives of the Sami people, whose traditional reindeer herding practices were severely impacted by radioactivity. Decades later, Japan faced similar questions after Fukushima, where Ethos-inspired meetings brought together people from Belarus, Norway, and Japan to share experiences, fears, knowledge, and survival strategies. Through rare personal testimony and unique encounters across three countries, the film asks urgent human questions: What does it mean to live in a contaminated territory? What risks remain invisible? And how do communities rebuild daily life in the long shadow of

Film producer Gene Gutowski (Repulsion, Cul-de-Sac, The Pianist) was fourteen years old when first the Soviets then the Nazis invaded his hometown of Lwow, Poland. With a combination of chutzpah, cunning and an unflinching will to live, he survived the war flirting with danger as a teenage boy hiding in plain site. Witnessing first-hand the unspeakable horrors of the Nazi occupation, frequently cheating death and losing his entire family, Gutowski's journey is ultimately one of hope. As recounted with humour and pathos to his son, filmmaker Adam Bardach, his remarkable story represents a thumb of the nose at darkness and totalitarianism. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Introduction ▷ 01:35 – Growing up in Lwow, Poland ▷ 05:46 – The beginning of the war ▷ 09:15 – Life under soviet occupation, painting communist propaganda ▷ 12:39 – The Nazis arrive and start arresting large portions of the Jewish population ▷ 19:20 – Belzec concentration camp ▷ 24:54 – Janowska Street Camp ▷ 30:48 – Surviving alone in Warsaw, living in fear ▷ 35:02 – Befriending an anti-Nazi German Luftwaffe pilot and
