About The Cry of the Butterflies
This series examines the events leading up the brutal murder of Dominican activist Minerva Mirabal and her two activist sisters, on the orders of dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The heinous crime would set in motion not only the end of a vicious regime, but also come to mark the global fight against gender-based violence.
Directed by Juan Pablo Buscarini, The Cry of the Butterflies leans on a strong ensemble — Sandy Hernández, Luis Alberto García, Susana Abaitua — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
