A portrait of Margaret Thatcher—an intensely controversial figure. Critics claim that her economic policies were socially divisive—that she was harsh or ‘uncaring’ in her politics and hostile to the institutions of the British welfare state.
Defenders point to a transformation in Britain’s economic performance throughout the Thatcher Government and those of her successors.
Critics and supporters alike recognize Thatcher’s time in office as a period of fundamental importance in British history. We present both views in this engaging documentary as we look back at the extraordinary life and times of this formidable woman.
