and their opposition, and later martyrdom, to the regime of dictator Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic. It shows very well how such tin-pot tyrants, of which Trump, imho is one, think and act. From pettiness to sexual predation and violence, this movie shows malignant narcissism and psychopathy in action. Recommended!!!
