Mo (2010)

In the pivotal year of 1997, the reins of the British government come into the hands of the Blair administration. Amidst this political flux, Dr. Marjorie "Mo" Mowlam finds herself thrust into the daunting role of Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Her mission is perilous – to foster peace between warring sectarian factions. Mo's unconventional disposition, complete with her blunt language, fondness for the occasional tipple, and instances of impromptu flashing, makes her a force to be reckoned with. She's as formidable as any man, unwaveringly dedicated to her crucial role. Yet, a shadow looms over her fiery spirit; she battles an insidious cancer. The ravages of chemotherapy rob her of her hair, but Mo turns this into an opportunity, using her baldness as a tool to lighten tense situations with a dash of humor. The grim prognosis predicts her demise within a few years, but Mo conceals this fact, determined to see her mission in Northern Ireland to fruition. Unflinchingly defiant in the face of her own mortality, she remains steadfast, her focus unwavering from the peace she aims to broker.

Mo is a drama movie featuring Julie Walters.
