Few contemporary political figures have been as controversial and outspoken – even misunderstood – as Imelda Marcos, the former Philippine First Lady and subject of award-winning filmmaker Ramona Diaz's compelling and provocative film, IMELDA.

Universally known by her first name, Imelda is the widow of the late Ferdinand Marcos, exiled president of the Philippines who maintained close ties with the U.S. even as he proclaimed martial law in 1972. IMELDA marks the first time that Mrs. Marcos has agreed to tell her story and details her controversial rise from humble provincial origins with a combination of guile, ambition and beauty to become one of the richest and most powerful women in contemporary world history.

After the screening, there will be an exclusive conversation with director Ramona Diaz and a panel (TBA).The film will have English subtitles.

The event is part of the Nobel Peace Center’s Freedom of Expression Festival and is organized in collaboration with Film fra Sør, The U.S. Embassy in Oslo and 3KT.
