Watch on Hammer Channel

As the former first lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos is best known for her opulent lifestyle, but it was her behind-the-scenes influence of her husband, Ferdinand Marcos’ presidency that rocketed her to the global political forefront. Lauren Greenfield’s documentary offers a portrait of a powerful female leader whose questionable sense of reality divided the Philippines. Followed by a Q&A with director Lauren Greenfield. In conjunction with David Medalla: In Conversation with the Cosmos.

2019, Dir: Lauren Greenfield. DCP, color, 100 min.
