IMELDA

 

A film by Ramona S. Diaz that explores the complex persona of former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos. Her Rise to Power and Fall from Grace.

Few contemporary political figures of this century have been as controversial and outspoken and even misunderstood as Imelda Marcos, the former Philippine First Lady and widow of the late Ferdinand Marcos, who was the president of the Philippines for 21 years.

IMELDA marks the first time that Mrs. Marcos agreed to tell her story. This feature documentary details her rise from humble provincial origins with a combination of guile, ambition and beauty to become one of the richest and most powerful woman in contemporary history and one of the few known by her first name. She tells her story in exceptionally rare original interviews in which she is both vivacious and intriguing. The documentary also features scenes from her daily life and archival footage.

IMELDA is produced by CINEDIAZ in association with ITVS and NAATA with funding provided by the THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING.

Released under Unico Entertainment Unitel Pictures International
