Finally some people made a film about the Mirabal sisters that was made and acted by Dominicans. I am hoping for this to be more historically accurate than the movie based on the nonfiction novel by Alvarez. I can't post attachments for some reason so I am just leaving the youtube link here.

Was there really instances of street fighting and car bombs in downtown SD during the year leading up to their deaths?

I wonder why it isnt listed on the imdb movie site yet - they are usually three years in advance with pending projects

Looks much better than the Selma Hyak made-for-TV version on many different levels. Having Dominican actors is a good start...

There's no sub-titled version? I'm hoping it will have the option for CC in english when it comes out on DVD.
