About Margaret Thatcher: The Iron Lady Who Changed Britain Forever (Documentary, 2012)

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

A quiet Toronto night shattered in seconds. A teenager’s life changed forever. And a single word in court would tilt the balance. Exhibit A takes you inside the Barbara Turnbull case, from a gun shop heist and a masked convenience store robbery to the forensic trail that led detectives to a stolen .357 Colt Python.
