"The Butterflies"

The page to this link gives a good summary of the story and also provides backround information on the movie, In The Time of the Butterflies. It does a good job of telling what went out during that time in the Dominican Republic, and talks about who and what the Mirabal sisters represented. It also tell about the author, Julia Alvarez, who first wrote the book. I think that the book and the movie turned out so well because alvarez also knew the revolution personally. Her parents too, were involved in the revolution and also had to flee the country. It's a great story, and i think it is a movie that people should watch because, many stories like theirs are not always told.
