Juan Carlos Desanzo pays tribute to one of Argentina's most influential women, Eva "Evita" Peron with this lush drama. Starring the luminous Esther Goris, Desanzo's film captures the tumultuous life of Evita, who fought insurmountable odds to defend the poor and disenfranchised, and whose life was cut short at the tender age of 33. Still, she managed to give hope to an entire nation, and continues to influence individuals throughout the world.
