WEBVTT - Introducing: Sisters of the Underground

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey listeners. I am Daniel Ramides, narrator of Sisters of

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the Underground, a new podcast about three fearless women. This

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>true story follows one courageous Dominican family. We've been silent

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and complacent for far too long, who dared to confront

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>a ruthless dictator. I only have two problems left them, Priest,

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>let me of our Sisters. From executive producers Dania Ramidz

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and myself Eva Longoria, Sisters of the Underground tells the

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>powerful story of these real life Latinas who sacrificed everything

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>for the fight for freedom. Or think about your children nearby.

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I am thinking about from and every generation after them.

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>The meat of our Sisters, also known as Las Mariposas.

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>We're not afraid to challenge decades of oppression and let

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a revolution against Rafael through Hell, the brutal dictator who

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>ruled the Dominican Republic for thirty years. In the words

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of writer director Jose Maria Carral, We're committed to sharing

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>this story as many times as it needs to be told,

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>so that it never happens again. Please help us to

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>hear your husband block on these heads. Kill me and

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I will lift my arms ever stronger even from the grave.

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.520

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.800
