In the Time of Butterflies
24 March 2006
This was a real good movie. Later in time in the Dominican Republican they had a government named Trujillo. What ever Trujillo said went. If someone in the household did something bad, the man of the house would be the one to be sent to prison, killed , or tortured. At a party one of the Mirabal sisters got into it with Trujillo after he touched her butt and she slapped him. She was the outgoing one out of the sisters. She felt as though he deserved it because he disrespected her by doing that. There father was soon captured and sent to prison and tortured. Years later the Mirabal sisters and their husband were arrested for spreading the word about Trujillo. The Mirabal sisters were let out first but they kept their husbands imprisoned. One day they were coming back from the prison to try and get their husbands out and on the way back they were stopped on the road because Trujillo felt that they had done wrong. They were dragged into a collard patch and beaten to death and killed. This movie was really really good you should watch it too.
