Evita, The Documentary by Eduardo Montes-Bradley

Sep 25, 2021 | A powerful and unflinching portrait of one of the most iconic and polarizing women in Latin American history, Evita: The Documentary traces the extraordinary life of Eva Perón—from her impoverished beginnings as the illegitimate daughter of a rural landowner to her rise as Argentina’s First Lady and a force in 20th-century politics.

Through archival footage and a critical lens, the film explores Evita’s early struggles, her ascent as an actress, and her profound influence within President Juan Perón’s government. It examines her role in founding a far-reaching charitable foundation, her international “Rainbow Tour,” and the adoration she inspired among Argentina’s working class.

But beyond the myth, Evita also confronts the complexities of her final years—her battle with cancer, her death at the age of 33, and the bizarre posthumous odyssey of her embalmed body through decades of political upheaval.

Offering nuance beyond the familiar iconography, this documentary peels back layers of legend to reveal the woman, the symbol, and the legacy still debated today.
