The Dominican episode is so badly done, its not even funny. Too much misinformation.
No mention of the Haitian invasions, no mention of some famous quotes by Juan Pablo Duarte (such as the one where he calls for Dominicans of all races to show the world that we're all brothers; he even confessed to admiring the Haitians due to their constant struggle for freedom and questioned how they could had subjugated the Dominican people, knowing very well the tribulations that a people wanting freedom go through.)
No mention of the law that Pedro Santana signed and put in effect right after the DR got its independence, in which it clearly stated that any blacks in the condition of slaves that would step foot on Dominican soil, was entitled to be freed on the spot and Dominican or foreigner living in the DR that were engaged in the slave trade would be punished with death.
No mention of national heroes like Gregorio Luper?n (black), Mauricio B?ez (the largest bridge in the country has his name and he was black too), hardly nothing said about Francisco del Rosario S?nchez (dark skin mulatto), among many others.
And a long list of other things that for some "odd" reason, didn't made it to the film. Plus, its heavily US-centric and this, by its very nature, gives a distorted view on things.
Ah well... I call this the legitimization of misinformation, at least regarding the DR. But, if misinformation is such visibly obvious to those of us that actually know Dominican history, my guess is that the other episodes also must contain some misinformation, that for obvious reasons, are not registering to my senses.
But I understand that these facts could get in the way of certain things, hence the omissions.
