Michelle Yeoh Leads Her People inside the First Trailer for 'The Lady'

Author-director Luc Besson loves writing strong female leads for his films ('Nikita,' 'The Professional' and 'Angel-A,' all feature women playing badass figures). For his latest movie, 'The Lady,' Besson examines another kind of female strength. Starring Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese politician put under house arrest for 10 years, 'The Lady' focuses on personal sacrifices and love throughout political turmoil. The initial official trailer for 'The Lady' has opened up, and you can realise why Yeoh remains garnering early Oscar buzz for your role. [via Yahoo!
