Great Story!
This is a fictionalized story about the atrocities of the Dominican dictator Trujillo, The movie was adapted from the respected Dominican poet and writer Julia Alvarez who does a great job of depicting the general conditions and persecution of anybody opposing this ruthless dictator. The story is interesting and kept my attention to the very sad ending. A great story!
