3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: about sisters, real life Latina's who sacrificed everything for the

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: fight for freedom. Oh, no, one other rainy spell here, Harry,

00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: help me bring some of the flower pots inside before

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: they get too wet. Daaa okay, gentle with them. I yeah, yes,

7
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: you know when young plants get too much water, it's

8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: not healthy for them. Some of these are from Grandma's

9
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: front yard at the museum. They're beautiful. You know you

10
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: never finished telling me about what happened after the party

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: at Casa Borkin and you remember that. Wow? I see

12
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: your still thinking about that, are you? I want to

13
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: know everything about all Neva and her sisters don't say,

14
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: but we might want to sit down. The next party

15
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: is a very dark and sad moment in our history.

16
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'm a big girl. Mommy didn't sleep much

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: following the infamous Party of nine, her encounter with the

18
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Dictator through he had reminded her a bollow, a dear

19
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: family friend who disappeared. He was a merchant from my

20
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: d who loved to bring fresh mangos and bananas to

21
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Mommy and her sister's patients. Every real where we're being

22
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: targeted by the regime. Many of them were killed or

23
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: left out of field. Then, after Thruo visited the town

24
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: of the Harbor and realized that there were a lot

25
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: of patients there, they ordered the military to assassinate anyone

26
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: living close to the board. I don't know how. When

27
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Buddo died one day, he stopped coming. Last time Mommy

28
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: saw him, he told her never trust an old devil's tricks.

29
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: He meant through hill right. See. After the attacks at

30
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the border, a lot of Dominicans began to see just

31
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: how Bord the dictator could go. Then her encounter with

32
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Thruio at the party made Mommy realize that she'd have

33
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: to fight her way out of her Three days after,

34
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: they came to see Papa. Look at what are you doing?

35
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: Leave my father alone? We have orders to take Don Enrique.

36
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but may I ask why? You know it's

37
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: against the law to leave an event before. I understand,

38
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: but I sent a telegram yesterday explaining why we left.

39
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: My daughter felt unwell. We never meant to anger. We're

40
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: just following orders. Let's go. And where are you? Taking him?

41
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: To the Osamafford and see that through happy dons? Who's

42
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: to let him go? Stop it? He's done nothing. Trust me, Senor,

43
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to make this any harder. You've already

44
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: done enough. I want to go with my husband. It

45
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: will be all right, yere, I'll explain everything to them.

46
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: We'll come for you, Poppy, I promise. At the Usamafford,

47
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: into that Loning Criquet was interrogated by Manuel de Moja,

48
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: He's right hand man. Do you remember I told you

49
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: she danced with him. This was his chance for revenge

50
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: for being humiliated by Minerva. Unfailing, you'll heavy? Can I

51
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: please have some water? Haven't been here for five full

52
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: minutes and you're already expecting special treatment? Lease? Why did

53
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: you leave the party? Senora? My daughter fell ill. Please

54
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: accept my deepest and most sincere apologies for our exit.

55
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm a businessman, not a politician. Your daughter is another story.

56
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: The very next day, three's cards came for Mommy. Start

57
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: to me, let me go. I don't need your dance

58
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: hall techniques. Then more, yeah, I want to see my father.

59
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I say, she's not going without me. Move Mama, you

60
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: hurt me. My daughter will not go anywhere without me.

61
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: She will only leave over my dead body. Get in Willy.

62
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Mommy hoped they'd be reunited with a willow right away. Instead,

63
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: they were driven to a Lottel Republic, where they were

64
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: kept under guard for days. Welcome to your new home.

65
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Enjoy the view. Are they really going to keep us

66
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: locked in here like prisoners? I said, a bliss, Try

67
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: the window, miham. It's a lot. We have to get

68
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: out of here and find some way to get to Papa.

69
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: And what was the point of bringing us here anyway? Yeah,

70
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: maybe to put pressure on him. He'd be worried if

71
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: he knew you had been picked up too. That's the

72
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: days went by, Mommy grew more upset than impatient, and

73
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: the guards wouldn't let them make calls back to Joe

74
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Agua or put anyone's calls through, so of course they

75
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: were worried about Patria. One day, the guard finally showed

76
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: up with a letter. Right, look, it's from Patria. Ka,

77
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Mamami Nerva. We hope you are all right. We have

78
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: been so worried since you left the day and I

79
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: have been at the store. But it's been quiet. We

80
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: haven't had many customers. Everyone is scared. Some guards came

81
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: the other day and it took some of me, Neva's

82
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: books and letters. We spoke to the governor about getting

83
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: you and Poppy released, but there's nothing he can do this.

84
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: In case no one wants to get involved, We'll talk

85
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: to your Chilling and keep you informed. Queen and Sam

86
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: your daughter and sister. Patrick don't Chilling was her uncle

87
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: from mamuela chair Side. He had been an important officer

88
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: in the army for years, but had to give his

89
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: position up to to health issues. And guess who stepped

90
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: in for him after he left Camus none other than Too,

91
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: who was a bright eyed young colonel in the army

92
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: at the time. That's a close relative with ties to

93
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: thro Chilling was the family's last hope. Hi, it's an honor.

94
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Don't be Helio. We have been hoping to hear from

95
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: someone the heal your He was that the Dato's older

96
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: brother and just as entitled and arrogant. How do you

97
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: like a room? We have a lovely view of see

98
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: that through he do. I miss my home and my family.

99
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: Who you please take us to see my husband? We're

100
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: really worried about my father. Please release us, Please let

101
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: us see him. It's up to you. Senor has one

102
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: simple request. He'd like to see you in a lot.

103
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: If you agree, we'll make sure they get you both

104
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: home safe and sound. Me alone with Truo in a hotel,

105
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: I'd rather jump off that balcony well. Without your co operation,

106
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm afraid we won't be able to release you. Or

107
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: don't Rique. Don't you care about your mother or father?

108
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: It's precisely because I care that I won't expose them

109
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: to such ridicule. Are gave you an opportunity to cooperate,

110
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: but since you won't guard come now take her. I'll go, Mama.

111
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fine, I promise, know me. I mean

112
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: everybody where are you taking her? That you're gonna bring

113
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: her back? I can't make any promises. Let's see how

114
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: she behaves. They took her to the Osama Ford, where

115
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: she was chastised and interrograded by Manuel de Moja for

116
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: leaving the party early. It also gave you a chance

117
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: to grill her about her political alliances. You're looking rather

118
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: bails since the last time I saw you, Biggers. Are

119
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: you a communist who is a communist according to you,

120
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: someone who reads who has ideas of their own. So

121
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: do you not agree with elenor Lisimo's vision for a

122
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: better and safer nation? Don't you care about the country's future?

123
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: Of course I do, and maybe you'd like to explain

124
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: this one bush Luis pier Gandhi's non violence in Peace

125
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: and War? Why do you have my books? I'll ask

126
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: you one more time. Are you a communist? Then, if

127
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: you are the patriot you say you are, write a

128
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: letter to LFE and ask for forgiveness for leaving the party.

129
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Only then will he release you and your family. I

130
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. Do you really want to keep hurting

131
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: and bringing shame to your family by reading this and

132
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: disobeying ill? Why should I feel ashamed? When you are

133
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: the cowards holding us back against our will and threatening

134
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: women and children. Let us go. We wanted to make

135
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: this easy for you, but you forced us to make

136
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: our point harshly. Guard cover, take her back to the hotel.

137
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: M hm miss with me. Did they hurt you? No?

138
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: They tried to get me to write him a damn

139
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: letter of apology, and did you, of course not. If

140
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: I write that letter, we'll admit that we did something

141
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: wrong by leaving the party, and we didn't. You taught

142
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: us all to stick to our beliefs and protect ourselves.

143
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: You should have seen, mommy, they were holding so many

144
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: people in that jail. It's all part of the sick

145
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: plan for God's sake, and we have a moment of peace. Hey,

146
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: get ready, eleanor Alissimo won't tolerate lateness. Where on earth

147
00:11:44,960 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: are you taking us? Now? The National Palace? Gracioso Chilling

148
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: has written a letter to Truijo asking for my family's release.

149
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: He hoped that dictator would remember that he helped him

150
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: rise to power and that he owed him a debt.

151
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the National Palace. Mia, Mommy, it's poppy, cheer Enrique,

152
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: you look weak? What did they do to you? Frank,

153
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. You're so skinny. Come on, let's go.

154
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: If it doesn't have all day. Mommy's refusal to write

155
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,040

Speaker 1: them on his own time. Ye being venegos, take a seat,

158
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: And there they were, face to face once again. It

159
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: doesn't look like you've slept much in prison, Don Enrique,

160
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: the nights have been very long without my family. Chilling,

167
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: and treat everyone with respect. For your actions at my

168
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: party left much to be desire. I have already explained

169
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: my daughter was unwell. My family means no arm I

170
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: assure you, what about your daughter here? She has been

171
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: acting against me. I gave her an opportunity to explain

172
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: herself and to apologize, and she refused. So what would

173
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: you like me to do with I'm responsible for her.

174
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: Let us take her back home. Our daughter, Minerva is

175
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,480

176
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: great respect that I beg please let her go. We

177
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: are hard working people, not enemies of the state. Very well, then,

178
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: I hope you can keep her under control for your

179
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: own sake. We are very grateful. We won't betray your trust.

180
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Ah through he just smartness. The way he acted as

181
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: if he owned the Dominican people only fe Mommy's getted

182
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: a spirit. Not once did she lose sight of her

183
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: fight for freedom and the rest of the family. We

184
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: tried to move on from that infamous party and live

185
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: a quiet life back in the jode Agua. Mommy, however,

186
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: refused to give up on her career aspirations, despite Papa

187
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: and Creeck's best effort to dissuade her. In nineteen fifty two,

188
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: he thought he had found the way we know about

189
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: it fast. It isn't this fund well? Yes, but slower please,

190
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Every Bodstrom turned to watch the ks on fault. Nobody

191
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: in town. What ever seen a woman drive a car?

192
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: Let alone that manner? He's not a woman driving. Looks

193
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: like we've never made a What are you looking at?

194
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: I know how to drive. Thank we all slow down. Look,

195
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: poppies outside of the house waiting. So do you like

Speaker 1: to Chevrolett? Yes, it's fast, comfortable and beautiful. Puppy, Thank

00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: you so much. You messed up all my hair. I'm sorry, Marthy,

198
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: I just got carried away. You just got to be

199
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: more careful. Can't be speeding around like that in town.

200
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: I know, Poppy, I just wanted to test it good.

201
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: I hope this car can make you reconsider. What do

202
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: you mean, Bah, Well, now that you have a car Metva,

203
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: you can drive around anywhere you like. You can be independent.

204
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: That's what you want, isn't it? And you can help

205
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: me with the business. I know where this is going. Yes,

206
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: I still think it's not a good idea for you

207
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: to leave home to study law. Thanks for your advice,

208
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: and thank you for the car. I really appreciate it.

209
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: But I'm a meta. But I remember I set my

210
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: mind on going to college, Poppy, and I'm going all right,

211
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: all right, I'll be safe, Poppy. Don't worry so much.

212
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: Nothing was gonna stop money. But danger was in the air.

213
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: Did he just grip on? His people was getting stronger

214
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: by the day. That year, do He paid a visit

215
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: to his counterpart in Madrid, Francisco Franco. They were very

216
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: much alike, believing they were sent by the divine to

217
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: save their respective countries through force and repression. In this

218
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: ship arrived they handed Alissimo of the Dominican Republic, Rafael

219
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: Leonidas through Hillo, the Minister of External Affairs is waiting

220
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: for him at the dog and then Alissimo Truchillo, accompanied

221
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: by his wife Maria de los Angeles Martinez Trujillo now

222
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: meets handed Alissimo Francisco Franco the two leaders and breaks

223
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and continuing the tradition and homage giving to Franco's gas,

224
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: and then Alissimo Truchijo is driven through the streets where

225
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: the people respond with this place of supportant sympathy. This

226
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: reinforcement of Truigo's power on the international stage only fueled

227
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: my mother's determination to learn something that would help her

228
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: fight against him and his regimere turn off the coffee pot. Okay,

229
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: I got it? Did it? I made cont Oh? Yeah,

230
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: I haven't had that a while. So she started studying

231
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: law right exactament. She had finally gotten the start she wanted. Yeah,

232
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two, Mommy was accepted at that university,

233
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: that at Santo Domingo, that was the first university in

234
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: the America's It already felt like a triumph. She was

235
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: immediately reminded that she was taking a new step in

236
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: an old world. Good morning, How can I help you.

237
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: My name is me Nerva. I'm here to register for classes.

238
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, miss, but your husband should come and tell

239
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm not married. Oh so, who are you trying to enroll? Me? Neva?

240
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: I see this is unusual, but if you were accepted,

241
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: you should be in there. Me Neva Mirabal. Wow, there

242
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: you are. Okay, here's your paperwork, Miss Mirable. Good luck

243
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: to you. It was very hard to convince her father

244
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: to let her study law, but it was even harder

245
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: to actually start her degree. Everywhere she went she had

246
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: to overcome these types of obstacles. She was one of

247
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: the few women in the country who studied law, and

248
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: the only woman in her class at the university. That

249
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: was so unfair. I never understand why boys can do

250
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: things that girls can't when we are usually better at them. Anyways,

251
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: A yeah, they lah you Mennya, you can do anything

252
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: because you are madrab don't you forget it? So Minerva

253
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: moved away from home. Was she safe? Yes? It was

254
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: okay at first, good even mommy moved to Santo Domingo.

255
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: I was staying in the Carmelita student residences. But things

256
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: were not so good in all, don't know it was

257
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: still weak. He didn't tell anyone until much later, but

258
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: he actually had a stroke of being held by Troijo.

259
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: The beatings and interrogations had taken at all, and he

260
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: had been hospitalized at the Osama Bord Clinic for days.

261
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: He never fully recovered, and the nineteen fifty three his

262
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: health took a turn for the worse. A Poppy, it's Patria,

263
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: my girls. How is the shop, my papa. I don't

264
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: want to worry you, but we made eighty eight bests

265
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: this week. People are not buying from us if they

266
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: used to. We will manage with what we have. Thank

273
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: but don't tell your mama. Okay, what is it? I'm

274
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: not feeling well? Know I need you to go to

275
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the parish of Salcedo and get me a priest. A priest, yes, darling,

276
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: why a priest. You want us to go look for

277
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: the doctor. It's too late for doctors. I need my

278
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: last rites. I think I'm leaving soon. Please don't say

279
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: that you will overcome this. Please get me a priest

280
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: and will do as you wish. Papa, you must tell

281
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Mom I will, but I want everything settled first, she

282
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: she will only be anxious. Maria. I went downtown as

Speaker 1: fast as she could and got a priest just in time.

284
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: No Nick made his death bed confession and an hour

285
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: later Master This was another horrific event that changed the

286
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: family forever. The prosperous, enjoyous life of the Midabal family

287
00:23:50,680 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: was nothing but a memory from then on. H Aboila

288
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,280

304
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: We gotta do something. Our sorrows are small, but they're everyone's.

305
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: I know that. Look, what are you planning, Neva, no

306
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: plans yet, But I'm sick and hired of this regime.

307
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: That's what this is called, by the way, a regime.

308
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: People are dying and suffering every day. Our father is

309
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: dead because of him. She was sad, but that sadness

310
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: quickly turned into anger. Horrible Anthias. When did they move

311
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: to the other house a few years after? Is it

312
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: still in Oho the Agua? Yes, that's what I like.

313
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: I told you that house is now where that museum is,

314
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: where most of their belongings and beautiful gardener and more

315
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: of these letters. Oh no, I've been keeping those here, Dea.

316
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: Can I can I take the letters to the museum

317
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: with you before I'll leave. I'm neither. I know that

318
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: this can be difficult to think about. Do you want

319
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: to break? Not there? Please keep going. What happened after

320
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Papa passed away? When his death shook the whole family.

321
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: Even though they felt powerless, their sisters decided they had

322
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: to fight against the regime. But what mommy didn't know

323
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: is that Rugillo had something else in mind. He was

324
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: still keeping a close eye and making sure she knew it.

325
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: I never thank you for coming. Rafael Enriquez needs to

326
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: talk to you about your enrollment. That's odd. Where is

327
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: he in his office? That first on the right? Thank you?

00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: me guess from Trujillo from thee himself. But that's illegal.

336

Speaker 1: many lives, her resentment only grew and it was only

393
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,320
