I recently found this in craigslist, looks like they are doing a one sided film. I sent them an email, below.
You may wish to look at the whole history of the situation. Fact is this same thing happen in the 1920’s and DR lost the province of Hinche the size of Santiago back then. This province was clearly part of DR, but since there where so many Haitians their, Haiti claimed it.
Beside the land grab by Haiti in the 20’s due to a state sponsor land encroachment, many Dominicans still hold animosity consciously or unconsciously at the Genocide committed in the Cibao area by Haitian Troops.
