Margaret Thatcher won the Falklands War, cut social expenditure and privatized public companies, crushed the miners and broke the dockers. But despite her penchant for a puritanical moral order, Maggie is a revolutionary who changed the world. She buried the welfare state and erected popular capitalism. Before Ronald Reagan, she defined the free-market economic agenda that now dominates the planet. Why did this grocer's daughter go into politics? How did she manage to win over the conservative party? And, most of all, where did she get the free-market convictions and the rage with which she imposed them on a mostly Keynesian country? This film uses rare archive footage and interviews to understand the psychology of an unusual woman politician.
