Reviews

“The outrage and sorrow that greeted the murder of the three elegant and revolutionary Mirabal sisters in the Dominican Republic during the homicidal dictatorship of General Rafael Trujillo have never really ended. These emotions are evident… and is the subject of ‘In the Time of the Butterflies’… it largely does justice to this story of injustice.” – Backstage
