We watched Times of the Butterflies last night.
While made for TV and not the most fantastic production values, for folks who are unaware of the history---like Mom CB---the film was adequate for a peek at life in the DR under Trujillo. She shed a tear, and spured her to wanting more knowledge of her newly adopted country.
For folks with a greater base of knowledge, and those who read the book, it probably lacked oomph.
Worth a watch, however.
I never bought Olmas as the dictator. He just never seemed the part, not enough rough edge...
