Title: innaccurate and "made for Hollywood"
Product review: I am Dominican. I know my own history. I particularly know the story of the Mirabal sisters. I had a teacher in high school, back in DR, who went to the university with Minerva Mirabal. We learned everything about the Mirabal sisters through our teacher, reading through our history books, and newspapers. Their lives were more real than those portraited in the film. Also, the novel give a better account of both historical and fictional events. Salma had the right idea; however, the film came short of being powerful and unduring. Their lives were not to be taken so lightly. I am glad that the story of the Mirabals came to life in an international level. They were free and independent long before other women started taking away their brassieres. ¡Vivan las Mariposas!
