Violeta Went to Heaven

Starring: Gavilan, Francisca and Durand, Thomas

Loosely based on Angel Parra's memoirs of his mother Violeta Parra, the film offers a multi-faceted and lyrical portrayal of an influential figure in world music and complex cultural icon of Chile's history. Violeta Parra's revival of Chilean traditional music galvanized a socially and politically committed pan-Latin American folk music movement, the "nueva cancion," and became a reference for other Latin American artists committed to their national legacies.
