Twenty-one years after Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister, bowed out of politics in the UK, her life is being portrayed in a Hollywood film.
Thatcher’s policies polarised the country, as she took on the country’s trade unions, cut social benefits and fought a war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands.
In the film, The Iron Lady, the name Thatcher was often known by, the former leader is played by the Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep.
