The story

Diaz followed Imelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the Philippines, for a month and interviewed her daughter Imee and her son Ferdinand Jr. The film incorporates third party interviews and archive material; it recounts Imelda's life, including her marriage to her husband, Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Discussing the Marcos presidency, Imelda falsely claims that there were no human rights abuses in her country; she says that her husband abolished Congress and declared martial law in 1972 to protect democracy.
