  • Summary

  • "Margaret Thatcher takes the reins of Her Majesty’s Government and leads Britain through a time of economic depression, threats of nuclear annihilation, and political restlessness. Within months of her becoming Britain’s first woman prime minister, she faces down Irish Republican Army terrorists and stands up to Soviet communism. Her mettle meets it test of wills when Argentina launches a surprise invasion of the Falkland Islands, one of the last vestiges of the British Empire. Counseled by men to take the insult and let the islands go, Thatcher is determined to face down aggression. She sends an army to the far side of the world, through terrible winter storms, to take back a land belonging to her queen – and earns the nickname “The Iron Lady” for her courage. Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Margaret Thatcher.
