La Corona
The contestants are hired killers, guerillas and thieves. The runner-up will cry
when she doesn't get the tiara, wiping her tears with a tattooed hand. The beaming
winner, resplendent in an evening gown and glittering jewels, will be crowned by the
previous year's queen. But she won't be invited on a press tour as a role model for young
girls. Instead, she'll be escorted back to her jail cell. This is a beauty pageant like no
other, and it happens every year in the women's penitentiary in Bogotá, Colombia. Nominated for the 2007 Academy
Award® for Best Documentary Short Subject. Read more.
