HISTORY
UPDATED WEEKLY

Sisters of the Underground is an 8-episode scripted series by Executive Producers Eva Longoria and Dania Ramirez. It follows the true story of three courageous women, known as the Mirabal sisters, who changed the world. Their lifelong activism in the Dominican Republic and state-orchestrated assassination ignited outrage that led to the downfall of one of the most brutal and enduring dictators of the 20th Century, Rafael Trujillo (aka El Jefe). This series takes us back to a period when the Mirabal Sisters inspired an entire nation to emancipate themselves from a tyrannical regime that lasted for more than 30 years. While the martyrdom of the Mirabal Sisters is the stuff of legend in the DR, Sisters of the Underground brings these hidden figures to life for a global audience in a vivid, immersive, audio drama.

Inspirational stories like these need to be told and remembered. Sisters and allies must find courage and come together like the Mirabal family and their supporters to rid the world of selfish and greedy leaders everywhere. The only way to do it is through community and bravery ✊🏽 Rise sisters of the underground 💪🏽🌎✨

The podcast is a great way to learn about the Mirabal Sisters, their love of country, their loyalty and fierceness. They were true freedom fighters.

Fuerza latina at its finest. This story is a great way to have us Latinos learn about our countries. I’m Mexican American but it doesn’t matter because out plights are all the same. I love learning about our Latino countries history, about the brave women and men that sacrificed themselves and their families for the betterment of their country. Examples to show how one person with courage can take the power and make true change. I hope you continue to give us these types of stories from our different brothers and sisters so we can truly learn where it is that we come from. Somos de madera dura y nada nos va a aplastar!!
