Chapter One: Take Two
Welcome to Chapter One: Take Two with Maddy and Bri. We read the book, watch the film and discuss the adaptation, recorded all the way from middle-earth (aka Aotearoa, New Zealand). We discuss how well, or not so well, a movie was made from the book it was based off, e.g. Twilight. If you love movies, books, and funny lesbians talking about movies and books, this is the podcast for you.

Ep 50 - In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies is a 2001 feature film, produced for the Showtime television network, directed by Mariano Barroso and based on Julia Álvarez's book of the same name. The story is a fictionalized account for the lives of the Mirabal sisters, Dominican revolutionary activists, who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo and were assassinated on November 25, 1960.
In the film, Salma Hayek played one of the sisters, Minerva, and Edward James Olmos plays Trujillo. Marc Anthony has a minor role as Minerva's first love, and the impetus for her later revolutionary activities.
