THE STORY
Between the year 1930 and the day of his assassination in 1961, Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (Luis Alberto Garcia), alias "El Chivo", turned the life of the Caribbean country of Dominica into a tragic opera starring a monster who could not bear any opinion against him, much less a "no" from the lips of a woman. Planned murders from power, abuses and gender violence, artistic and sporting events, and absolute control of the media, were the tools put into practice by one of the most grotesque tyrants in memory of the 20th century to control the people. Only a brave few risked their lives to face it. Minerva Mirabal (Sandy Hernandez), nicknamed "La Mariposa", was one of them. A unique, beautiful, cultured and committed woman, whose short life with a tragic outcome hastened the end of the "Fiesta del Chivo".

  1. I have cancelled MHz and I'm in the lookout for another streaming service. I want to watch this series, but subscribe to Disney? No way.

    1. I have noticed that MhZ has become boring as it gets, just same old detective shows. If you sub to Disney you could watch the second season of Sisi too :) And then Renegade Nell too sometime this year.

    2. None of them sound too tempting. I had MHZ for two years, enough to go through their period drama catalog. As the library was seldom renewed, I cancelled it. Glad they let me off the hook, but I have to check my billing to seeif they continue charging me.

    3. Oy, do they have a history of doing that? How nasty of them. Though I wouldn't be surprised....

  2. This isn't one I would peg for Disney Plus. I'm a bit surprised they picked it up. I was thinking we'd see this on a streamer like Amazon, Hulu, or Paramount.

    1. It is because they have a very strong Star Plus streamer in South America so they have to produce something for them too.
