Tracking Down Maggie is a self-reflexive documentary that prioritizes deconstructing truth over broad demographic representation. It examines how power and institutional barriers shape investigative journalism. The film's diversity is limited by its focus on Western political figures and the tension between the filmmaker and the establishment. Despite its limitations, it provides a sophisticated critique of systemic authority. Ultimately, the work prioritizes a deep, subjective investigation into the opacity of political and economic power over traditional demographic variety.

Official Synopsis
What begins as a genuine attempt to get an interview with the so-called 'Iron Lady' former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, quickly turns into a game of cat-and-mouse in the United States. The filmmaker Nick Broomfield is snubbed at every turn. Aside from the comedy of Broomfield's repeatedly failing attempts to gain access, the film discusses the accusations that Thatcher's son, Mark, used his mother's connections to effect arms deals in Saudi Arabia.
