Margaret Thatcher’s story is polarizing no matter where you stand politically, you can’t deny her sheer force of will, even if you disagreed with everything she did. Watching her navigate the old boys’ club of British politics while being dismissed as “just a grocer’s daughter” is fascinating and infuriating in equal measure. I actually stumbled across this doc while browsing for something else entirely, right after I’d been on hold forever trying to reach the disney plus phone number about a subscription issue. The contrast made me laugh, one woman toppling governments, me just trying to fix a billing error.
