Diana, The Rose Conspiracy is a 2005 short film directed by Uruguayan media artist Martin Sastre.[1] It depicts a day when the world discovers that Diana, Princess of Wales, did not die in Paris and has a new undercover life in a dangerous cantegril on the outskirts of Montevideo, Uruguay.[2] The film was shot in a real Uruguayan slum along with other parts of Montevideo. It stars a Diana impersonator, an English teacher from Sao Paulo named Denise Watson. It was selected as one of the best works by the Italian Art Critics Association at the Venice Biennale.[3] After the first public screening the film provoked false media headlines about Diana being alive in Uruguay.[4] This film can only be seen in museums such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, private collections and other art spaces.
