The Cubist Paintings of Diego Rivera.
'Diego María Rivera (1886-1957) is one of the most prominent Mexican artists of the twentieth century.

Using intimate interviews with former contestants, behind-the-scenes footage, and photographs, the film reveals how the pageant became a battleground and a barometer for the changing position of women in society.'
