Does anyone know the full title of the new movie about Trujillo that has come out? and is it available here on CD yet? Its supposed to be very good but an awful eyeopener, telling his story from childhood onwards..... By good I mean it is supposed to be well made - not the content or what he did.

- Start date
Trujillo Movie
Thanks Renato, no its not this one
Montreal, apparently it is quite recent in the USA and its tells the whole of his horrible history but actually begins in his childhood, these American friends said it was very good and very well made, but we cant remember the name.

If it was Trujillo El Poder del Jefe, it's pretty old. Trujillo: El poder del jefe (1991)
I was unable to find a torrent that had it. If anyone can find one, PM it to me please.
BTW, (Papa se volvio loco) is hilarious
Hi ladybird, on wikipedia it says that there is 2 movies on Trujillo: In the time of the butterflies (2001) and La fiesta del chivo (onscreen in 2006).Ciao!
Thanks, the friends that gave me the info are travelling back to USA so when they arrive I hope to have the title but I thought they said it was in English, they watched it in USA.
Movie
Hmmmm, just this past Sunday night I happened upon a movie about Trujillo on TV Plata (Channel 3 in Puerto Plata). Unfortunately I didn't see it from the very beginning but it was in English and I think it may have been "In the time of the butterflies" because it was about a family with 4 sisters. The one sister who Trujillo wanted to "get with" eventually joined a revolutionary group trying to fight against his inhumane practices. Two of her other sisters ended up joining the organization. One girl was called Mariposa (butterfly) and when two of the girls were imprisoned, people would send her discreet messages of "long live the butterfly". Probably a lot of you guys already know the story, but it was new to me. Eventually, three of the sisters were slaughtered. Maybe it will be shown again on this channel soon.

A friend brought it from Canada and lent it to me, it was very moving and fantastic. It prompted her to visit their home, which is now a museum in Salcedo, and they were very fortunate to be introduced to Dede the surviving sister, who is now apparently 83 years old. Im not sure if this was their original home or a replica built for posterity, perhaps HB or the other knowledgeable Dominicans could clarify this. Or it may be the Casa de Patria
that was the replica built.
Isnt November 15 or 17 now recognised as violence against women day because of the sisters brave actions.
Glad you were able to get the movie. So was it the same one (In the time of the Butterflies)? I tend to be a channel surfer and since my last post about it, I've seen the movie on t.v. two more nights. Interesting about the surviving sister.
Anyway, on another note: Have a great Christmas and New Years!
And the same to you very peaceful Christmas and 2008.
Which channel numbers are you seeing the movie on? Is this on cable tv or sat? I want to see it again.
Ladybird: I've seen it 3 times now on TV Plata (cable) which is channel 3.:bunny:
Just downloaded it. Quality excellent. Stop by with your thumb drive or just do a search. A lot of torrents out there.
