Eva Duarte de Peron, or 'Evita' as she is also called, is one of the most controversial figures in history. A minor actress when she married Argentine president-to-be Juan Peron, her political power and prestige eventually equaled, and perhaps eclipsed, his. Was she the power-hungry Marie Antoinette figure her detractors claim? Or was she really the savior of the working poor? Rare photographs and films tell Evita's real story, from her humble birth to her tragic death of cancer at 33. Close aids and bitter enemies offer their accounts, and consider why she continues to fascinate us today.
DVD, region 1, full screen (1.33:1) presentation; Dolby Digital.
