"Santo Domingo Blues" - Movie on Bachata

For those of you in the Washington-Baltimore area who enjoy or are interested in the DR's bachata tradition, there's a movie that will be showing 16 June in Silver Spring, MD at the American Film Institute's center there. It's called "Santo Domingo Blues," and is cosponsored by AFI & the Discovery Channel. It's promo'd as follows:

SANTO DOMINGO BLUES
Alex Wolfe
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC/USA, 2003, 75 MINUTES
Once banned on radio in the Dominican Republic, bachata
music captures the raw stories of the disenfranchised
Dominican poor. Now, thanks to the immigrant community
in New York City, the market for the sounds of Luis Vargas
and others is thriving.
