This is an idea I have for a Second Margaret Thatcher Biopic that goes into more detail about her life and career than 2012's Iron Lady did. This wouldn't be a cheap production like the 2012 movie; this would be a big-budget period drama like Malcom X and Gandhi. This provides more detail about Thatcher and her era as Prime Minister, including the Miners' Strikes, the IRA bombings, the Poll Tax, and her relationship with Ronald Ragon. It also touches on aspects that were left out of The Iron Lady, such as her relationships with her children, Mark and Carol, and what it was like to be a teenager during the Thatcher Era. It also focuses more on her Cabinet Members than Thatcher herself in the same way as stuff like Hamilton and Jesus Christ Superstar does, So over all, this would be a more honest portail of Thatcher that doesn't shy away from all the ugly details and shows her how she actually was.
