Known globally as the ‘Barefoot Diva’ for her penchant for performing without shoes, Cesária Évora possessed a voice so beautiful that it could reduce anyone to tears. This intimate documentary from Ana Sofia Fonseca tells Évora’s story as the world’s most celebrated morna singer covering her struggles and her coming to terms with fame late in life after many years of poverty in her home in Cabo Verde. It is a story of a life well lived, with a soundtrack guaranteed to melt your heart. SE
