Tracking Down Maggie (1994x3)

Air date: May 19, 1994

The launching of Margaret Thatcher's book The Downing Street Years was an ideal opportunity for filmmaker Nick Broomfield and his crew to accompany her and try to break through the public persona of the 'Iron Lady' in order to discover the real person. Hearing nothing back from her press officer, Julian Seymour, Nick Broomfield embarked on a determined cat-and-mouse game with the protectors of her image. So began a journey of near misses and hilarious encounters with Mrs Thatcher, her entourage and her son Mark.
