In the Time of the Butterflies

Overview

Set against the backdrop of the oppressive Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic, three sisters, known as the Mirabal sisters, transform from innocent youth into fierce activists after experiencing the devastating loss of family members at the hands of government forces. Inspired by their convictions and the desire for justice, they courageously confront the brutal dictatorship, risking their lives to fight for freedom and equality. The poignant story, rooted in Julia Alvarez's novel, explores themes of resilience, sacrifice, and the power of sisterhood amid political turmoil.
