Firstly it was not just the US, but Canada, Mexico, Brazil that participated in intervening in the 1965 Dominican civil war. For example Canadian troops were there from May 4, 1965 to October 22 1966, fighting the Cuban supplied and aligned communists. In fact the head of the Inter-American Peace Force (IAPF) sent to Dominican Republic was a Brazilian General. This intervention was about about separating two hyper violent warring sides, bot of which were killing civilians, by all historians accounts, the leftist killing the most.
US troops were barely involved in any of the fighting. There were 23 total US casualties, mostly from sniper fire while those troops were protecting civil institutions.
The violence was suppressed very quickly and US service personnel were a minority of the foreign troops there.

Extremely recommended, you will not regret it. In Spanish with such a good transtation. Love the plot and the.setting. Take us back to 1965 and how the world viewed America, a must watch refreshing film.
Wrong Dominican story board. Poor quality of actors and storyline does not emulate to past history in the Dominican Republic. Woman on those times did not wear tattoos.
And not to bad a histric drama good technical production,good acting,a bit nudity, after all its a brothel under siege. It is a bit tideous on playlength and the war and action lacks for those squemish, but a recommended dominican republic made film from tgom.
The movie was very promising at the beginning and it was very interesting until it touches the subject of the American invasion. From one moment to another the movie suffers a stagnation and we don't know what it is about and it loses everything that had been achieved at the beginning. Good performance by Lumy Lizardo and the guerrilla woman. Nashla's performance was not for her, she still lacks a lot as an actress for roles like the one in the movie.
I give this movie a 5.5 out of 10.
