Prior to her victory, pageant officials maneuvered to deny her the crown by demanding that she answer an additional obscure legal question. MISS PANAMA is a short documentary exploring Gloria&#8217;s experiences navigating racism, and the actions taken by the Afro-Panamanian community to rally around their Queen and defend her efforts to represent the country. Through Gloria&#8217;s story, larger issues of race, national identity and the ripple effects of US imperialism come into view. Featuring a vibrant collage of archival, verit\u00e9 and personal testimony the series asks &#8211; who gets to represent a nation?<\/p><p><strong><a
