Winner of the World Cinema Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, Violeta Went to Heaven recounts the life of the great musician, artist, and folklorist Violeta Parra. Abandoned into poverty by a drunkard father, Parra managed to travel the world performing and exhibiting her artwork. Violeta depicts her tempestuous journey, from childhood in a cobblestone town on the outskirts of Chile, to international renown and ultimately an untimely death in 1967.
