Description
For generations, General Rafael Trujillo has ruled the Dominican Republic with a mixture of terror and savagery, until Minerva Mirabal dares to oppose him. Inspired by her love for a rebel leader, Minerva and her sisters, known as Las Mariposas, endure unimaginable hardships in a battle for the very soul of a nation. But as their acts of bravery gain notoriety, Trujillos forces close in determined to put an end to Minerva's heroics.
Description

Today, November 25 is observed in many Latin American countries as the International Day Against Violence Towards Women. This is based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, whose deaths became the final blow to the regime of Trujillo, who was assassinated six months later.
