1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: From executive producers Daniel Ramidez and myself Eva Longoria. Sisters

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: of the Underground tells the powerful story of the middle

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: of our sisters, real life Latina's who sacrificed everything for

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: the fight for freedom, thinking about your children nearby and

5
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: thinking about him and every generation after them. This is

6
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: a love story between two and between a country and

7
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: between the future because they knew they were fighting for us.

8
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: So I hope that people see this and see what's

9
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: happening in our country now and go wait, I could

10
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: participate in a bigger way, Yes, because these women did.

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: The young women of these were old need to see

12
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: stories like this, creating an army of history around our children.

13
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: The inspiring part was definitely learning the history about the

14
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Metabows and how amazing it was and what they've been

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: through and how much they suffered. But they were so

16
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: strong during this whole time. A most restan talk on me,

17
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: monsieur b m Beneathos and welcome to the final bonus

18
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: episode of Sisters of the Underground. I'm Daniel Ramides one

19
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: of the executive producers of the podcast, and I also

00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: play me new the narrator. Today you will hear from

21
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: some of the powerful voices behind this show. I feel

22
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: very great to have partner up with Eva Longoria. You know,

23
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Eva and I share a passion for stories that will

24
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: empower the Latin voice in America and in the world. Really,

25
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: I know that this needs no introduction at this point,

26
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: but here's me and Eva talking about it. It was

27
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: really serendipitous because I had just met whole Maria in

28
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: a random Somebody goes, you should meet this writer, and

29
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I meet him and I said where even he goes

30
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: on Dominican And I said, oh my gosh, that's so.

31
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: That's I don't need very many Dominican writers. This is amazing.

32
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: And literally two days later, Dona sits with me and goes,

33
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I want to do this story and I loved like

34
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: it to be all Dominican, Dominican sounding, Dominican writer, Dominican voices.

35
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: And I was like, I just met a Dominican writer,

36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: and then I introduced you to Maria. And that's the thing.

37
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: That's the thing too, that's my life's mission is not

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: to speak for the Latino commune. I'm not. I don't

39
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: speak for anybody. I don't speak for women, I don't

40
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: speak for Latinos. I encourage people to speak up for themselves,

41
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: and the way we do it as creators is finding

42
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: those stories from our communities and giving giving it that voice.

43
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you've done so beautifully with

44
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: this particular series, is you've got so specific with the story.

45
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: Is not not even just with being Dominican and it

46
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: being a Dominican story, it being about these three women.

47
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: The more specific you tell a story from a point

48
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: of view, the broader the reach. And that's the irony

49
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: of storytelling, because it is you can't even make up

50
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: this ship, right, you can't make up the ship that

51
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: these women went through whips, chains, electric rocks, but don't

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: give no, can calm down, get a lot worse. They're

53
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: taking up still are family in a way, you know

54
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: way it's like we are keeping them alive. You know

55
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: that he wasn't in vain. Like a lot of people

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: can look at this, you know, look at the story

57
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, look they spoke up and they're dead,

58
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, but they're not. Look at the way

59
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: that we're getting to tell this story. Look at the

60
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: opportunities that we have so that our youth gets to

61
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: grow up having that inspiration, understanding that that's what it's like,

62
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: and being proud, being really proud of what it was

63
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: then and what it is now. You know, the movement

64
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: soon became a political force to be reckoned with them

65
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: now because of her, women like us don't have to

66
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: be afraid anymore right now. And this is Dominicano. I

67
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: am very proud to introduce minutes, the daughter of two

68
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: of our heroes, Minerva. Yes, yes, you heard that right,

69
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: that is me New She's still alive and well and

70
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: working as a politician and an activist in the Dominican Republic.

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: Not surprising, She and a show runner writer directors Maria

72
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: cal had a conversation about the journey towards bringing this

73
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: story to life in this medium. I trust how's mydea?

74
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: He's good, thank you? Meaning so, um, let's talk a

75
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: little bit about the process. I remember I called you

76
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: and and it was my birthday and you didn't know

77
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: it was my birthday, see, and you told me come

78
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: to my office and I arrived at your office and

79
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: you gave me a book. Uh and that book is

80
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Mariana Dede Sick. And that was a birthday gift, but

81
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: it was it was also a great gift for me

82
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: to learn more about about Meno and Manolo, and you

83
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: really wanted to point out that love story that me

84
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Nero Minolo had. I miss you more than anything. I've

85
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: read your last letter so many times. I know it

86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: by heart, and I think you can really you can

87
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: really see that in the book. You can really understand

88
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: these characters. It was very good for us writers, for

89
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: me and Mary cast Jans too, to really get to

90
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: know in a in a different level, not only the

91
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the movements, what they thought their ideas, but how they think,

92
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: how they felt uh and and that intimacy that they had,

93
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: and how the struggles they had as a relationship, and

94
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: and like in a way that human side that you

95
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: can really see it in in in everything they did.

96
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: They're telling people to watch out for us doctor Manuelo Tabares,

97
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: whoso has recently married La rou the Red commun And

98
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: it is also said that there is a baby. What

99
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: the hell is this? That bastard wants to isolate us

100
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: from everyone, but he won't. I won't let it happen, Mina.

101
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: They were really human to I think that was really

102
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: important for us, and that's why I called you back

103
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: and I told you, I think we need to include

104
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: the book. I think the book is important, and I

105
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: think we need to include you. You need to be

106
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: a character in in in this in this story quite

107
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: a gift because that's a really true lost story. And

108
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: it's not a love traditionally come on love love story.

109
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: It's a love story between two and between a country

110
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: read and between the future. And it's about fighting for

111
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: a better work and being um able to give everything,

112
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: even even the UH their own lives, in order to

113
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: UH to build a work, a different work, a onee

114
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: where people do not have to to suffer what they suffered.

115
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: People that do not that are not going to be

116
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: per sicking. I am thinking of them and every new

117
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: generation after them. They need to be protected from this

118
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: terrible regime that killed their grandfather. Remember they did that

119
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: to puppy, to all of us. So you tell me, mommy,

120
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: what's best to think about myself or to think about

121
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: the future for my children and their country. I want

122
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to talk to you guys a little bit about Maria

123
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Caral showrunner, writer, director. He's one of the most important

124
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: Dominican filmmakers working today. He has directed over seven feature

125
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: films and his movie would Peckers was the first film

126
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: out of Santo Domingo to screen at the Sundance Film

127
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Festival in two thousand and seventeen. Meno so gracefully let

128
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: Jose and co writer Mary Castelliano fictionalize her life and

129
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: create a character who is passing this story on to

130
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: the next generation. You speak for them, Okay. If I

131
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: closed my eyes, I can't imagine the cries, the anguish,

132
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: that despair. What I need is that you are able

133
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: to capture the spirit, uh, and that you are respectful

134
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: with it. It. Yes, we we had that into account

135
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: when me and Mary were writing, and that's why we

136
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: we did a lot of meetings with you, and and

137
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: also we we used many of the testimonies. The Day's

138
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: book also very inspirational, uh. And we we really wanted

139
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: to be really faithful to the history and to what

140
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: actually happened, so we took very few creative licenses. There's

141
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: another thing that it's very uh that talks about the

142
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: character of my mother. She was in prison, and and

143
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: she was in the letters she said all the time,

144
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: like bring me, please, bring me, bring me constantly said yes,

145
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: So Clay Clay, did did you bring those cigarettes? On

146
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: the modeling clay see, because I need to do something

147
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: while I am. I'm here, you know, these days are

148
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: endless days, and and she had no one single picture

149
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: of me, So she started sculpting my face from her memory.

150
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: Mommy was spent the next few months inside herself sculpting

151
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the memory she had of me, of my face. It's

152
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: surprising how very much alike to a picture of me

153
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: at that age is this sculpt that she did. So

154
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: what that story tells me is first how much she

155
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: loved me, how present she had me. It's just like

156
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, not as you would tend to think that. Well,

157
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: she preferred to fight, and she forgot about no, no,

158
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: no me, no, I want me thank Okay, yes that's

159
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: a key g She had me in her mind and

160
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: solely my father. Uh when when she did what she

161
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: did because it was her responsibility, it was her commitment.

162
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: She had no option but two fight for a better work.

163
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Look at what he's doing to us, Look at what

164
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: he's doing to us. I don't want me to to

165
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: grow up in fear. I want them to have a

166
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: full life. Better. Their own hardships had one good result.

167
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: It made them focus again on the revolutionary ideals, and

168
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: so they began to plan. I was honored to bring

169
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: her to life in this way. Actually, in the show,

170
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Adela is played by my actual niece, Gabriel Stein. Just

171
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: a little fun fact for you guys. They meant so

172
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: much to me to pass along this story to the

173
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: younger generation in my family. You know what you are

174
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Mariposa too, and so are you. Mavie. There, Hey, podcast listeners,

Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more interviews in just a sec.

176
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: Stick around it. We got it. We got it is

177
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: about reconnecting the dots for people now, and not from

178
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: a victimized perspective, because I think that's the thing everybody.

179
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're all played in this big play of life, right,

180
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: and so we get to have a chance to be

181
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,239
Speaker 1: vessels for a message, a bigger message for me obviously,

182
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and you can you know, I have my messages of love,

183
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: of uniting or like I've always been like, how can

184
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: I tell stories that make people really resonate with not

185
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: just what happened, but what can come a bit? You know,

186
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, I get really deep sometimes I get it,

187
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: but that it's important to me because I do. I

188
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: feel like you've really provided me with a an opportunity

189
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: to really retell the story in the most authentic way.

190
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: You allowed me to have freedom to really, you know,

191
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: collaborate with you on something that to me meant the world,

192
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: and it means the world to a lot of the

193
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: Dominican community. And along with Mikulta and and and I

194
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Heart and Julia from School of Humans came into this

195
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: project and I cannot tell you eva like just changed everything.

196
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: We were able to just really attack it from a

197
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: place of sound like, what do Dominican people sound like?

198
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: What is our country sound like? What do our fight

199
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: sound like? What does our laughter sound like? How do

200
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: we relate to each other? And we did it all

201
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: in a very specific way to talk about our people

202
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: because you know, and I think that's a huge thing.

203
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to and partner with Joannie on this

204
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: because just like just like the media and sisters who

205
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: weren't afraid to challenge decades of oppression, uh and and

206
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: lead a revolution, you know, Danny and I aren't afraid

207
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: to you know, tackle our industry with representation. And we're like,

208
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: here we go, get ready for the revolution. Kill me

209
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: and I will lift my arms ever stronger even from

210
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: the grave. What an honor it was to work with you.

211
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: The Ray is an incredible actress. Wow, Um, I have

212
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: worked with duty before. It's very rare that you have

213
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Dominicans in Los Angeles, and she's been my powerhouse here

214
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: in l A, someone that I turned to. No one

215
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: better than Julie Ray is as our So I mean,

216
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: a room full of Dominicans is like nothing you've ever seen,

217
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's not a joke, it's a

218
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: show off. Somebody's teasing somebody else, making you laugh, and

219
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: you feel at home immediately. You know. Once somebody threw

220
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: in a a hole O go and yoka. Okay. It

221
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: was a legacy and the Spanish it was on. So

222
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: we figured out how to throw it in there, and

223
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: whenever we had to pull it out, who somebody did

224
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: an incredible joke, was like, let's do another one. But

225
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the more powerful scenes

226
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: was um when we got we had to sing the

227
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: national anthems Ye, she's being arrested, um, and it was

228
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I don't know the

229
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: whole thing. I don't know. You can't silence us our

230
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: country's anthem. Says we have a right to be three

231
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: come on me by one of us, So damn. But

232
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: it's almost a yeah it is, and it isn't re

233
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: education of US Dominicans and American Dominicans. And you know,

234
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm American born, American educated, I mean dominicanized by

235
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: my family because my first generation, I mean for me.

236
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why I really wanted to

237
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: tell this story, it's not just because, Okay, the meat

238
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: of our sisters was something that I grew up with,

239
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: but really I knew firsthand the effect that he had

240
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: on our people. And I was born in them, and

241
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: I am born in Dominican Republic, and I stayed there

242
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: till I was ten years old. And I would come

243
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: from a family full of women, like I'm one of

244
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: three girls, my mom is one of ten. My grandmother

245
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: had ten girls, two boys, and so the meat about

246
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: story was something that was very prevalent and alive in

247
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: my home. And so this is something that going to

248
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: school in Dominican Republic is the first thing that you

249
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: really start learning about UM. But I also saw there

250
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: their impact within the women in my family because Dominican Republic,

251
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: if you know, the country is um in a lot

252
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: of ways, very male dominant and still till this day,

253
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: very male dominant, and so coming from a family full

254
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: of strong women, this was something that I grew up

255
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: being inspired by my father. I remember him telling us

256
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: stories about, you know, being outside and not being able

257
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: like if thru he was making his rounds, you wouldn't

258
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: even you weren't able to even be outside and chew

259
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: gum because he found it disrespectful. So if he was

260
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: out there speaking and you were chewing gum, they would

261
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: like shoot you right then there. So imagine growing up

262
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: in a time that that was a reality. Um. He

263
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: made me have to grow into having a little more

264
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: understanding from my father, and he's much books. I'm one

265
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: of four girls, so I I I identify and I

266
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: appreciate what you're saying. And you know, very anti Trugistas.

267
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: My parents they experienced him in their youth and uh.

268
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: And then of course it's part of the lord. Every

269
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: time you brought up civil rights in the States, you know,

270
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: my mom had to, you know, give me a little

271
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: schooling of what she knew about. Oh no, but in

272
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: Santo Domingo, there was the meta our sisters, you know, no,

273
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: you don't know. It's like what happened. And and to

274
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: echo what you were saying, the misogyny. So many women

275
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: in the households so few men, and they have virtually

276
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: no power because of the patriarchy, the times, all of

277
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. And like a middle class young women, like

278
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: the metra our sisters going ahead and exercising their right

279
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: to educate themselves, um creates a problem in a nation

280
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: that's mostly women or has mostly daughters. I know where

281
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: this is going. Yes, I still think it's not a

282
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: good idea for you to leave home to study law.

283
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for your advice, and thank you for the car.

284
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. But I'm a meta. But I'll

285
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: remember I set my mind on going to college, Poppy,

286
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm going right, all right, I'll be safe, Poppy.

287
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: Don't worry so much. You know, I have a son

288
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: and a daughter, and I think of my daughter when

289
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: i'm when I'm doing this work, and I'm thinking of

290
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: what she you know, how we would resonate with her.

291
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: But I also think of my son, and I think of,

292
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, what his future with women would be like.

293
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, you know, it's just as a friend,

294
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: as a partner, and you know, instilling that like love, admiration,

295
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: respect for women in these young men is something that

296
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: our nation needs. And I think creating an army of

297
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: history around our children that that reminds them that they

298
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: exist and being the example to our children that, uh,

299
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: they can realize themselves as a result of people before us,

300
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: and being scared is not new. It's okay to be angry,

301
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: and it's okay to take action, do you know what

302
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: I mean? However, that looks for you, um um, that

303
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: they're not alone, that they're you know, what we've been

304
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: looking for. What brought us all into the business, you, Julia,

305
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: you Dania, is that we're looking for someone who looks

306
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: like us, who sounds like us, who is like us,

307
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: but you know, through a different journey and experience, representation

308
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: and representation of these universal themes comes in every shape, color, size, gender,

309
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's an important message to get across.

310
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of like intellectual, really smart

311
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: educated business women who are actors in this room, you know,

312
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: so that take in terms of the the class and

313
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: the weight of these women really really uh, it's not

314
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: something you can't you have to edit down or change

315
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: because that's where we're all from, which is to your point,

316
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: what the real talent is essential and talented people who

317
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: often don't get the opportunity to shine in this way,

318
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: let alone tell their story. We'll be right back with

319
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: more interviews in Justice Sect. Stick around. Did we record that? Okay? Next?

320
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: I am very excited for you guys to hear from

321
00:22:51,800 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: these beautiful Dominican strong women. Gravio, Charlene Let. They had

322
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: a conversation with our producer and Julia Chris Gaunt know

323
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: what bout. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's even makes me my

324
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: eyes here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's a Dominican

325
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: story led by females. You know, it's being represented and

326
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: it feels good. You know, I saw Judy, I saw

327
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Heivy Keith. They Judy started way before us and trying

328
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: to break through. Yes, and the fact that she represents me,

329
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: that my character. It's amazing because what what it entitles.

330
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: It's like her history and you know they were met

331
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: about rags. She's nearly ready and the fact that she

332
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: did it was so so much soul because she wasn't.

333
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: She wasn't just their scenery and made a good actor.

334
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: It was personal for me. It's very important. I told

335
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: her this. She was the first Dominican actress I ever

336
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: saw on screen and in a TV show when she

337
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: was doing scrips and I would watch her every day

338
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: and I didn't know she was Dominican. She just felt

339
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: like family. I felt represented through her, and so many

340
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: years after, you know, it just feels very full circle

341
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: because she inspired me to be an actress. Whether she

342
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: knew it or not, each of us individually had never

343
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: given up in the industry. We have never given up

344
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: on our country. We have never given up on the

345
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: pride of saying Dominican in Hollywood and Dominican in Miami

346
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: and Dominican in Latin America during the world. So I

347
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: think he has to do a lot with that, with

348
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: with carrying our heritage and culture towards a story and

349
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: linked to our own journey as creative people, and it's

350
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: our story told by us and US Dominican talents in Hollywood.

351
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: We have suffered so much and because for Hollywood, for

352
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: the United States, we are who speak ste Spanish or

353
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: one flag, but we have different cultures. Of course, it's amazing,

354
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: which is the beauty of the Latino. But as America.

355
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: I tell you, I felt very proud in that room

356
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: when all of us speaking Spanish and you and Virginia

357
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: were the producers in the table. They had to just

358
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: listen to what we're saying and take our our advice

359
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: because we know better about our culture. To me, and

360
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, all this is another level something

361
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: never happened when gona help its going. It is so hard,

362
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, but kudos. It is very important to

363
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: know that bad as women like Dania Ramiers, Eva Longoria

364
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: and Eugenia and you that represent a bigger platform that

365
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: bad as women are telling the story as bad as women,

366
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: and Hi are bad as women, you know. Like that

367
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: to me is like okay, about time. Thank congratulations, thank

368
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: you for trusting relieving in us. Yes, so it was

369
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: you made it easy. Look at it. Where are we

370
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: in a in a room right now? Right It's called

371
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: Sisters of the Underground. So they were underground paving their way.

372
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: It's exactly what we're doing now. Look at the building

373
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: next to us in Netflix offices. It's like the underground,

374
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: you know. So we were like here doing a raw,

375
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: doing a real because like yeah, really is rare nowadays.

376
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: So this is a very real, rare project, and nothing

377
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: goes the way we plan, but we plan our way,

378
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: we still make it. Yes, that's quite the thing that

379
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: best makes me about these women, these sisters, was the

380
00:26:54,760 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: bravery and the these ordinary women. I mean they were

381
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: they were obviously extraordinary, but really if you look at

382
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: their lives, they were three women, They had a husband,

383
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: they had a job, they worked in the house. My

384
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: hope is that it inspires people to see, wow, these

385
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: three women became an inspiration for many. I mean, they

386
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: were affectionately called Las Mariposa, the butterflies. Um. You know,

387
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: they earned this um martyr status, and they were normal

388
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: everyday people who wanted to see a difference in their country.

389
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: That's all they want. They wanted to make a difference

390
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: in their country. So I hope that people see this

391
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: and see what's happening in our country now and go, wait,

392
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: I could participate in a bigger way. Yes, But these

393
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: women did. They started the downfall of trukil Uh. You know,

394
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: over time they became the real threat to his regime,

395
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: and they garnered national international attention and they put pressure

396
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: on the government and go, if you look at if

397
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: those three women can do it, in a in a

398
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: in a place that has had true fascist dictatorship, I

399
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: mean true fascist dictatorship. I think sometimes in the United

400
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: States we sit back and we're like, we're such a

401
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: great democracy and it's fine, and it's like, no, you

402
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: have to pay attention. You have to pay attention. And

403
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, political and social movements are fueled

404
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: by everyday people in our country, and so I hope

405
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: people look at this and pay attention to what's happening

406
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: in our country to make sure that we never become

407
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: that right, and that not only that you have the

408
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: power to make sure we never become that. I truly

409
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: do believe that change is inspired, not demanded. Bringing this

410
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: show into fruition is my attempt to inspire the kind

411
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: of change that I believe is needed in order to

412
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: form a world that I want my children to grow

413
