Michelle Yeoh Leads Her People within 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 a different sort of female strength. Starring Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese politician put under house arrest for ten years, 'The Lady' concentrates on personal sacrifices and love throughout political turmoil. The very first official trailer for 'The Lady' has opened, and it's not hard to understand why Yeoh continues to be garnering early Oscar buzz for that role. [via Yahoo!
