Jorge Ileli shows highlights of the life and death of this successful artist in this documentary, together with some songs and rare footages of the movie "Banana da Terra", which is lost. This short exposes an anti-imperialist view of Carmen Miranda, informing that she was being explored by the system, using too many pills and working too much looking for dollars. My vote is seven.
