A five-hour television series documenting the extraordinary life and music of one of the world's great divas, "Amália, A Strange Way of Life" is by far the most comprehensive visual archive ever assembled about the legendary Amália Rodrigues. Constructed with footage ranging from 1920 to 1995, it includes live clips from Amália's worldwide concerts, television appearances, scenes from her movies, backstage moments and a long revealing interview with Amália herself talking about her life. Best of all, it contains many never-seen-before performances as well as rare, soulful renditions of all of her classic Fados.
