Violeta Went To Heaven

About this movie

In the mid-60s Violeta Parra was the Edith Piaf of Chile: a beloved singer and visual artist who became a pop-cultural phenomenon and whose songs -- including Gracias de la Vida, later covered by Joan Baez -- ignited a renewed interest in Chilean folk music. Violeta Went to Heaven tells the rags-to-artistic-riches story of her life, blending touches of magic realism and a soulful soundtrack of her music.© 2011 Chile
