A second Iron Lady trailer has been released.

The trailer follows Meryl Streep through the key points of Margaret Thatcher's career as prime minister.



It shows Thatcher's rise to power, her initiation of the Falklands War and her eventual resignation.

Streep has defended her role in director Phyllida Lloyd's biopic after it was criticised by Thatcher's former Conservative colleagues, including Norman Tebbit.

Lloyd has also spoken in defence of her movie.

The film also features Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher and Anthony Head as Geoffrey Howe.

The Iron Lady will open in cinemas on January 6.
