What do a former assassin, guerrilla, hustler and gang member all have in common? A beauty pageant, of course! Colombia is a country well known for its pageants, so the fact that Bogota's Women's Penitentiary holds an annual crowning is not completely out of the ordinary. For Maira, Viviana, Angela and Angie, the competition offers temporary excitement and respite from the crushing boredom, isolation and depression of prison life. La Corona (The Crown) moves beyond the novelty of big-house dress up and raises larger issues-femininity as identity, overrun prisons, arbitrary sentencing and civil war.

The directors followed four of the girls who are competing in the competition, showing you how they are preparing for the event, and giving you some of their back stories. It’s a strange film: it is at times very happy and upbeat, but there is always this very bleak undercurrent that runs through the whole film. All the women have clearly had very hard lives. I enjoyed the film very much. It’s certainly worth checking out.
