Explain the movie Evita through a short synopsis. How did she help her country?

This film is set up as a frame story, as it is framed by the
death of Evita (Eva Peron) herself. Seeing Eva in her coffin inspires the narrator to tell us
more about her. There is a short flashback to Eva's own childhood and the troubles having to do
with the death of her father. Then we follow Eva as she makes her way to Buenos Aires and
progresses through several relationships, moving her way up the social
ladder.


Eva then meets Peron, recognizes potential, and promotes him
through her radio program. The people of Argentina become enamored of the couple as a result of
Eva's support. Peron win the presidential election and Eva gives aid to the poor of the country.
Eva starts on her adventurous "Rainbow Tour" of other countries which begins well, but ends with
both sickness and the knowledge that the elites of Argentinian society hate her because of her
love for the poor. Eva eventually dies and our narrator is moved at her
coffin.


In short, Evita helps her country the most through her
determination to help the poor and working class of Argentina no matter what it takes to do so.
She remains an iconic figure in the country to this day.
