I love all these stories about perseverance and struggle. Especially the story of the Mirabal sisters touched me. It's a pity that they had to go this way. Yet the loss of their lives ensured the fall of Trujillo. If you made a movie about it it would be a Oscar winning tearjerker. Thank you HollandaLovesDR, I am truely flattered that you like the thread.  |
